• Collecting, lifting and loading containers on and off the vehicle — hands-on work, not just driving.
• Handling hazardous and difficult waste, then bringing it back to be safely recycled.
• Varied loads, varied routes — no two days the same.
• A valid Class 2 (Category C) licence.
• Someone who takes real pride in doing the job right
• A reliable, hands-on team player who wants to stick around and grow with us.
• Got your ADR? Brilliant. Haven't? We'll train you
