Contractor Receptionist

Are you organised, confident, and passionate about creating a safe and welcoming environment? Do you enjoy interacting with people while ensuring high standards of safety and efficiency are maintained? If so, we'd love to hear from you

Longcliffe is delighted to be seeking a Contractor Receptionist to join our team at Brassington Moor Quarry.

Our business is driven by two guiding principles: to supply customers with the right materials, exactly when they need them, at the right price — and to do so in a way that respects and protects the environment.

You'll also play a key role in supporting the Health and Safety department with administrative duties and maintaining contractor compliance records.
