About Our Opportunity

A Day In The Life Of An EMR Driver

“I love working for EMR. The industry is fascinating and no two days are the same”

This role will give you the opportunity to say these exact words just like one of our very own drivers. Our industry truly is fascinating and has the variety factor, giving you the opportunity as a Class 1 Driver to meet new customers on a regular basis.

Our rotas for nights away are pretty flexible, so whether you’re interested in working the odd night away, a full week away or you’re just looking for local work. Then we want to hear from you.

We like to offer a good work-life balance for our drivers so the flexibility can work in your favour.

What You Will Be Doing

As a family-owned business, we respect and appreciate all the hard work given by all of our drivers. We believe our drivers are all key members of our business and strategy. Without them, our business would come to a standstill, how we would move our materials!

You’ll be driving and operating our very own Bulker Tipper vehicles that include a microwave and fridge, whilst transporting material between our sites and customer sites whilst offering a world-class customer experience to all customers.

If you don’t have experience with Bulker Tipper vehicles, don’t worry, we would still like to hear from you, as we offer in-house training.

About You

So what do we need from you? Well, if you have read and stuck with us this long, you are probably on our page. You will need to:

• Hold a HGV Class 1 (CAT C +E) licence
• Take a methodical approach to work
• Be patient, able to work unsupervised, and stay calm under pressure
• Have the ability to communicate effectively with customers and co-workers, and provide a high level of customer service
• Be able to follow instructions, and know when to discuss changes to plans with your line manager
• Be a good communicator, and be able to avoid conflict
• Be able to recognise/anticipate hazardous situations and react accordingly

Who We Are

‘Our purpose is to create a future where the materials we use don’t need to be extracted from the planet.’ At EMR, we give new life to unwanted materials. Every year, we recycle 10 million tonnes of metals and plastics, saving 19 million tonnes of carbon from entering the Earth’s atmosphere, diverting waste from landfill and protecting resources and habitats.

We couldn’t do any of this without our team members. In return for all they do, we do everything we can to create an environment of belonging, value, support and growth.

About

We’re proud to have achieved Great Place To Work status, but it’s about so much more than a badge. It’s about being recognised by our people for the continuous work we do to do better for them:

‘The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.’

‘I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.’

‘I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.’

‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility and hard work.’
