Job description

Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world. In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue profoundly impacting the healthcare industry – HIV acquired through needle‑stick injuries.

In Australia, we lived out our dream, investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and taking on industry status quo to petition for higher standards in sharps protection. We witnessed an 80+ percent reduction in disposal‑related needlestick injuries nationwide, and then we kept going.

We are looking to hire a Plant Operator – Team Lead on the afternoon shift for our Daniels’ medical waste treatment facility in our Brampton plant.

A Plant Operator – Team Lead has a widely varying role: checking in containers, double checking paperwork, moving/unloading specific waste containers, and operating a forklift to load an autoclave.
