About Tarmac
Tarmac provides vital building materials such as rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphalt, and mortar that enable the construction and maintenance of homes and infrastructure which are part of our everyday lives.
We employ around 7,000 people across a network of more than 400 sites in the UK. As a large landholder and custodian of natural resources we are committed to managing the balance between industry, the natural environment, and local communities, by ensuring our work prioritises responsible stewardship, enhancing wildlife, supporting communities, and boosting local economies.
The Local team
Tarmac is a national network of local businesses, with strong roots across the devolved regions. We are proud to employ local people and work with local contractors, haulage firms and suppliers.
All of the team at Snabe and Bankend live locally, and some employees have worked on site for many years.
Health and safety
Our ambition is to realise continuous improvement for all our employees and contractors
This approach to improving safety extends across our supply chain and to every aspect of our business - from the way we manage sites and the way train and equip our employees and contractors - to the safety features we install in our vehicles to protect road users.
We're proud to work with experts in the field of Health and Safety, such as the British Safety Council and The Health and Safety Executive and are also one of the founding partners of a mental health programme for people working in the construction sector called Mates in Mind.
We also have a brand new National Skills and Safety Park - 'The Park' - that is home to operational onboarding, professional operational training, assessments and health and safety learning, demonstrating our commitment to building the right safety culture as well as creating an enhanced experience for employees.
