    Description

    Colas Ltd are a UK subsidiary of the global Colas Group, which operates in over 50 countries worldwide and employs over 55,000 people including over 1500 in the UK across multiple sites. We are specialists in highways construction and have been involved in large-scale UK and international construction projects within the highways, airfields, and marine sectors as well as offering highways maintenance services and manufacturing our own innovative surfacing products. We hold a 'Gold Investor in People' award for continuously developing and rewarding our employees, offering excellent career potential.

    Purpose of the Role


    Colas Continental Bitumen UK are seeking a motivated Terminal Operative to join our busy Avonmouth Docks depot. This is a great opportunity for those with an industrial background or anyone keen to develop practical skills in a hands‑on role. You'll be responsible for operating pumps and handling terminal activities at our Bitumen facility, always ensuring strict safety and quality standards. Full training is provided, making this ideal for both experienced candidates and those new to the field.

    You will work a 45-hour rotating shift pattern between 4:00am and 7:00pm, including some weekends. The role offers a salary of £25,000 – £30,000 plus a 33% shift allowance.

    Main Responsibilities


    As a Terminal Operative, you will support the Depot Manager in ensuring the safe and efficient storage and supply of bitumen at Avonmouth Depot. Your duties will include attaching hoses and loading bitumen into customer tankers, accurately operating computer systems, and assisting with site maintenance while following all safety procedures and site‑specific risk assessments.

    You will build strong working relationships with site personnel, attend safety briefings and inductions, complete required paperwork, and be flexible in supporting additional tasks as needed. Full training will be provided to develop your skills and ensure compliance with all company procedures.

    Ideal Candidate


    We are keen to hear from individuals with an industrial background, or anyone motivated to embark on a career in a busy operational environment and willing to work shifts. You will be computer literate, have an appreciation for Health & Safety, and demonstrate a positive attitude to work and learning.

    Although the depot is a 15‑minute walk from Avonmouth train station, you must ensure you can access public transport suitable for our shift patterns.

    Package Description


    As well as a salary of £25,000 – £30,000 plus a 33% shift allowance (OTE £35,000), Colas offers some great benefits with this role, including:

    • A generous pension contribution
    • Life assurance cover (x4 basic salary)
    • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (with the option to buy/sell more)
    • Flexible working policy
    • Opportunity to study towards a professional qualification fully funded
    • Ongoing training and personal/professional development
    • Discounts on car leasing, holidays, cinema tickets, restaurants and much more through our online employee benefits portal.

    At Colas, our culture is guided by four core values: Respect, Commitment, Pioneering, and Sharing. These values shape how we work, collaborate, and grow together. We believe that respect is the foundation of every relationship. By treating others as we wish to be treated, we foster fairness, transparency, and inclusion within our teams and with our clients, communities, and partners. Commitment means dedicating ourselves fully to everything we do. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to make a meaningful impact. With a pioneering spirit, we prioritise bold innovation over blind ambition. We welcome new ideas, invest in our people, and work to deliver sustainable infrastructure solutions that shape the future. Through sharing, we build trust and solidarity, encouraging collaboration and growth at all levels of the business.

    Colas Ltd is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that mirrors the communities we serve. As an equal opportunity employer, we welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you want a workplace where your voice is valued and your potential is developed, Colas is the right choice.

    Note to Recruitment Agencies

    In line with our Company Policy, Colas Ltd has a preference for direct hiring and we will reach out to our PSL (Preferred Suppliers List) agencies if the role is eligible for release. We do not accept speculative CVs from agencies. If a speculative CV is sent, no fee will be applicable.
