HERE TO CREATE OUR BEST WORLD, A TON AT A TIME.

Sand is a finite resource, and it’s running out. Today, population growth and the pace of progress means the world is devouring sand like never before – 50 billion tonnes a year globally. This demand is unsustainable. Together with our customers we have already diverted over 100 million tonnes of waste material from landfill and put it back into the materials market for use in construction;

protecting sand & aggregates in areas where natural material reserves are in decline and enabling production to happen closer to markets. We are minimising environmental impact and laying the foundations for the circular economy.

A Graduate Manufacturing Engineer is an entry-level professional role offering a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the development, optimisation, manufacturing processes and systems.

• Maintain detailed and accurate records of process improvements, equipment updates, and production metrics.
• Assist in developing and implementing standard operating procedures for manufacturing processes.
• Prepare comprehensive reports and technical documentation as needed.
• Ensure the completion of high-quality manufacturing structures and support production initiation by providing well-prepared production packages.

• Identify and implement opportunities to improve manufacturing processes, minimize waste, and enhance efficiency.
• Assist senior engineers with high-level Kaizen and improvement projects while independently managing and executing lower-level projects within defined time and budget constraints.
• Support the team by completing time and motion studies.

• Participate in on-the-job training and formal educational programs to develop engineering skills.
• Shadow experienced engineers to learn about processes, systems, and equipment.
