This is a varied role and is not solely operating mobile plant. Successful candidates will also be expected to support the wider site operation by carrying out general housekeeping duties, keeping work areas clean and safe, and assisting with other operational tasks as required.

• Wear and maintain all issued PPE correctly.
• Work efficiently to help achieve production and recycling targets.

We're looking for candidates who:

• Have previous experience operating mobile plant.
• Must have a valid Loading Shovel License
• Are willing to carry out a variety of site duties, not just plant operation.
• Are happy to undertake training on additional plant and machinery.
• Can work rotating day and night shifts.
• Have a good understanding of health and safety.
• Are reliable, hardworking and able to work effectively as part of a team.

• Full training on additional plant and equipment
• Full PPE provided
