Job description

ELV Operative

At EMR, we're not patting ourselves on the back for being able to recycle, reuse and repurpose most materials within every vehicle - we're obsessed with getting to 100%.

If you're happiest with your head under a bonnet, your mechanical mind might be just what we need to make sure none of these precious materials go to waste and we can leave a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.

End-of-life (ELV) Operative at EMR: purposeful petrol heads apply today.

About Our Opportunity

It's no secret that combustion engines aren't doing our planet much good - but we can reuse, repurpose and recycle the materials inside every end-of-life vehicle (ELV), putting them back into the supply chain so that they can become something new tomorrow - meaning mining for materials becomes a thing of the past and our planet can start to rebuild.

But we need your help to do it.

What you will be doing

As an ELV Operative, you'll become an expert in transforming every part of a car into something more valuable - not simply deconstructing, but also looking for opportunities to save the most possible carbon through reuse and repurposing as well as recycling.

If you're looking for a role with endless opportunities for learning and development - you've found it. From gaining your FLT license and operating cutting-edge tools and machinery to depollution, health assessments and so much more, this is a position that's solving tomorrow's challenges, so it's only right that you're trained up in futureproof skills.

As well as getting your hands dirty recovering vital materials, you'll be exercising your social muscles - meeting, greeting and helping customers who are bringing their old bangers and write-offs in for responsible recycling.

About you

We don't believe in shutting doors on potential, so we don't ask for qualifications or experience. We can teach you everything you need to know. What we can't teach is:

• The drive to continuously learn and the competitive spirit that will see you and your team topping the EMR ELV leader board every month
• A desire to provide incredible customer service
• Smiling through all weather conditions
• Getting stuck into hands-on processes, organised production and outside-the-box problem solving
• Mechanical and mathematical competence

If you have these qualities, you're already well on your way to being an incredible ELV Operative. We'll happily fill in the gaps by developing your knowledge, skills and expertise on the job. And we won't stop training you once you've reached peak Operative status, because when you work for a global leader in sustainable materials, there is no limit to your career progression.
