• Carry out daily equipment checks and report any defects or safety concerns.
• Follow all health, safety, environmental and site procedures at all times.
• 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.

What We Offer

• Ongoing, long-term work
• Full training on additional plant and equipment
• Full PPE provided
