Job description

Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world... and we have never stopped believing that. In 1986, a simple concept emerged: microbiology combined with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate a significant healthcare issue—HIV transmission through needle-stick injuries.

In Australia, we realized our dream by investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world. We challenged industry standards to advocate for higher sharps protection standards, resulting in an over 80% reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide. And we continued to innovate...

We are seeking to hire a Plant Operator - RMW at our Daniels’ medical waste treatment facility in Abbotsford. This role involves unloading trailers daily with a partner, weighing and sorting waste as needed, and managing incoming trucks and leftover waste from previous days. The position requires high stamina due to extensive walking, though little lifting is involved. Reliability and daily attendance are crucial, as this role is vital to our operations.

2. Processing and storing waste in compliance with regulatory requirements.
3. Handling waste streams including cytotoxic, pharmaceutical, anatomical, and RMW.
4. Managing supplies of clean reusable bins and totes for logistics.
5. Addressing housekeeping issues promptly, such as spills and debris cleanup.
6. Performing additional duties and assisting in other plant operations as directed by the Operations Supervisor.

What are we looking for?

1. Forklift certification is required.
2. A can-do attitude, commitment to efficient scheduling, and experience in labor-intensive jobs.
3. Reliability, organization, physical fitness, independence, teamwork, safety focus, mechanical aptitude, and openness to responsibility and career growth.

Why work for us?

1. Job stability as an essential healthcare service—non-seasonal and recession-proof.
2. Opportunities for overtime due to ongoing operational needs.
3. Consistent work hours: Monday to Friday, 12 pm - 8:30 pm.
4. Benefits including full-time employment benefits, vacation leave, and personal days.
5. Permanent, full-time position of 40 hours per week.
6. Competitive salary of $20.00 - $21.00/hr.
