Job description

ELV Operative The Best Connection England, West Yorkshire, Leeds

ELV Operative

Our client are not satisfied with simply recycling vehicles. They're driven by a bigger mission: recovering, reusing and repurposing every possible material from end-of-life vehicles, moving closer to a future where nothing goes to waste.

If you're happiest with your head under a bonnet and have a practical, mechanical mindset, this could be the perfect opportunity to build a rewarding career while making a real difference to the planet.

Join them as an ELV Operative and help create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Hours: Monday to Friday 0700 - 1630

Every vehicle that reaches the end of its life still contains valuable materials that can be recovered and returned to the supply chain. As an ELV Operative, you'll play a vital role in ensuring these materials are reused, repurposed or recycled wherever possible, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

This is far more than a vehicle dismantling role. You'll become an expert in identifying opportunities to maximise recovery, minimise environmental impact and contribute to our client's sustainability goals.

• Processing end-of-life vehicles safely and efficiently

Our client invests heavily in their people and will provide full training, including opportunities to:

• Gain an FLT (Forklift Truck) licence

• A positive attitude in all weather conditions


• A willingness to get stuck into hands-on work


• Strong problem-solving abilities and practical thinking


• Good mechanical aptitude and basic mathematical skills


• A proactive, can-do approach to work

• Full training provided


• Industry-leading sustainability business


• Hands-on and varied work


• Supportive team environmentOpportunity to make a positive environmental impact every day
