Job description

Job Title: Junior ITAD Operative
Location: 38/39 Juliette Way, Purfleet Industrial Park, Purfleet RM15 4YA
Salary: £13.45 per hour
Job Type: Full-time, permanent
Working Hours: 7.30am-4pm Mon-Fri

The Company:

Recorra is a leading circular economy company, providing services for recycling, data destruction and office supplies in London and the South East. We are born environmentalists, formed by Friends of the Earth in 1988 and now operating as an independent commercial organisation.

We are an ethical and fast-growing company with a team of exceptional people and are looking for someone to join us during an exciting period of change and growth. The role provides the opportunity for you to use your skills to make a difference within a friendly, dynamic and forward-thinking company. The culture is energetic, and there will be many opportunities for you to make a substantial contribution to the business.

The Role:

Are you a self-motivated, results-driven Warehouse Operative looking for your next challenge? Are you keen to work in a busy and dynamic environment where your contribution is recognised and rewarded? If that's a yes, then we want to hear from you!

We’re now looking for a new team member to join our IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) department, focusing on recycling, refurbishing and remarketing IT and electronic equipment. You’ll be joining us during an exciting period of change and growth and have the opportunity to make a real impact as we continue to expand our ITAD operation.

As a Junior ITAD Operative, you will play an important role in preparing IT equipment for resale and assisting senior team members with the manual handling, sorting and logging of the equipment we receive. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands‑on, is eager to learn, and has a keen interest in technology and IT equipment.

Responsibilities:

• Manual handling of equipment and materials
• Accurately log and record equipment as it moves through the ITAD process
• Separating material for precious metal recovery
• Separating batteries for recycling
• Identifying and separating items suitable for reuse
• Organising and shrink-wrapping stock on pallets
• General housekeeping and warehouse duties

About you:

• Strong attention to detail while processing equipment efficiently
• Prioritise workloads and manage time effectively to meet daily processing targets
• Willingness to learn and develop new skills
• Keen interest in technology and/or IT equipment
• The ability to undertake the physical demands of a manual handling role
• A positive attitude and the ability to work as part of a team (we're a small team we all help each other when needed)

Benefits:

• 22 days' annual leave (additional days for length of service) plus bank holidays
• Employee pension scheme
• Travel season ticket loan
• Cycle to work scheme
• Company sick pay
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Health Cash Plan

Things to Consider

• You must successfully complete our employee vetting process, including a DBS check and providing a five-year employment, education and address history. Periods of education, unemployment or Jobcentre registration are acceptable.
• We are part of a larger recycling facility, so this is a very different environment from general warehousing. You will be expected to work within the ITAD unit, which can be dusty at times and cold during the winter months.
• This is a physically demanding role and will require regular manual handling as part of your day-to-day responsibilities. Recorra takes health and safety very seriously and provides regular training and toolbox talks covering best practice for manual handling and warehouse operations.

Please Note:

Candidates must have the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this role.
