Operations Operative / Collections Driver

Location: Bathgate

Department: IT Recycling Operations

Hours: Full-time

Salary: £26,500

Join Converge UK - Drive, Develop & Make a Difference

Looking for a job where no two days are the same?

At Converge UK, we're looking for a hands-on Operations Operative / Collections Driver to join our growing IT Recycling team in Bathgate.

This is much more than a warehouse role. You'll spend your time out on the road collecting IT equipment, working with customers, operating within our warehouse and learning new skills across IT recycling, refurbishment and logistics.

You'll be joining a global award-winning technology company where the work you do has a genuine environmental impact - helping businesses securely recycle, reuse and repurpose their IT equipment rather than sending it to waste.

What makes this role different?

Variety. Responsibility. Development.

Driving & Collections

Represent Converge UK with customers and complete professional multi-drop collections.

Warehouse & Logistics

Load and unload vehicles, palletise equipment, process incoming assets and prepare orders for dispatch.

IT & Refurbishment

Learn about IT hardware, asset processing, data wiping, testing, refurbishment and basic repairs.

Sustainability

Play a hands-on role in giving technology a second life and reducing electronic waste.

Development

We'll support you to become multi-skilled across our operations and develop your knowledge and experience.

What will you be doing?

Collections & Customer Service

• Carry out safe, professional and efficient multi-drop IT equipment collections.
• Load and unload vehicles safely, including potentially heavy or bulky equipment.
• Palletise and secure collections ready for transportation.
• Complete collection and delivery documentation accurately.
• Provide a professional and friendly service to customers.
• Represent Converge UK positively while out on the road.

Warehouse & IT Recycling

• Receive, check, count and weigh incoming IT equipment and materials.
• Record asset information accurately using our computer systems.
• Pick and pack equipment for shipment.
• Support the processing, refurbishment and preparation of IT equipment.
• Carry out data wiping in line with our procedures.
• Dismantle IT equipment for recycling or reuse.
• Keep the warehouse clean, organised and safe.

Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Follow health & safety, environmental and company procedures.
• Work to required quality and testing standards.
• Support Lean working practices and continuous improvement.
• Take pride in maintaining high standards across the operation.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is reliable, practical and willing to get stuck in.

You don't necessarily need previous IT recycling experience. What's more important is your attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn.

You could be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy a physical, hands-on role.
• Are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• Have a positive attitude and take pride in your work.
• Are reliable and organised.
• Have good attention to detail.
• Are comfortable using basic computer systems.
• Enjoy working in a role with variety rather than doing the same task every day.
• Are confident dealing with customers professionally.
• Have a willingness to learn new skills and develop within the business.
• Hold a full UK driving licence.

Previous experience in warehouse operations, logistics, collections/delivery driving, IT hardware, recycling, engineering or a similar environment would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

What do you get in return?

We want people to build a career with Converge - not just take a job.

You’ll get:

• A varied role combining driving, customer interaction, warehouse operations and IT recycling.
• Full training and support to develop your skills across our operation.
• The opportunity to become multi-skilled across IT recycling and refurbishment.
• Experience within a global, award-winning technology and sustainability business.
• A supportive team environment where your contribution matters.
• Opportunities to develop your career as your skills and experience grow.
• Help at Hand employee support app for wellbeing and everyday support.
• Voluntary health cash plan.
• Holiday Buy Scheme - purchase up to 5 additional days' annual leave for the following year (T&C apply).

Do work that makes a difference

Every day, businesses replace thousands of pieces of technology.

We help give that technology a second life.

By joining Converge UK, you'll be part of a team helping businesses securely manage their unwanted IT equipment, recover value from technology and reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste.

Your work matters - to our customers, to our business and to the planet.

Ready to get started?

If you're looking for a hands-on role with variety, training and the opportunity to develop, we'd love to hear from you.

Whether you're already experienced in logistics or you're looking for your next opportunity and have the right attitude, Converge UK can help you build the skills to grow.
