Looking for a new challenge or career change?
If you enjoy working outdoors, operating machinery, and want to be part of a team producing a truly unique product, this could be the role for you.
Based in the stunning Snowdonia National Park, our Penrhyn Welsh Slate Quarry is home to a proud team dedicated to creating world-class slate products. We’re expanding our slate portfolio and growing our footprint – and we’d like you to join us on that journey.
Key Responsibilities

As a Quarry Operative, you’ll primarily operate mobile plant machinery to support safe quarry activities, including:
1. Extracting slate block from the quarry face
2. Transporting materials to our onsite slate manufacturing facilities

You’ll work in a hands-on environment, surrounded by skilled colleagues who take pride in their craft – and who know how to have a laugh along the way.
