Based at our Beenham Estates office (you must live or be willing to relocate to within a 40-mile radius of this location), but with regular travel across our Thames Valley and wider South East operating area (to date, 16 diverse sites also covering the Sand & Gravel arm of the business), your responsibilities will include:
