About Us

The Circularity Team of Global Outsourced Operations drives the development of a circular economy across Dyson’s global footprint. We strive to create closed-loop recycling systems, transform waste into valuable resources which reduces our waste and carbon footprint. Our mission is to advance circularity within our operations, realize incremental cost savings and strengthen Dyson’s brand reputation.
We establish and manage robust recycling networks for both post-industrial and post-consumer materials. Our focus is on reintegrating recycled content into Dyson products in the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible manner possible.

About The Role

• Enable visibility on Dyson’s waste: Identify insights and uncover opportunities for material recycling and value recovery from Dyson’s production scraps—including plastics, batteries, electronic waste and more—through data mapping. This involves aggregating and analysing data from global market reports and internal sources to support data-driven decision-making and enhance circularity dashboards.
• Sustain circularity engineering activities: Ensure traceability and maintain consistent quality and performance of closed-loop recycled materials in manufacturing through effective implementation and close collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Proactively solve problems: Identify and de-bottleneck hurdles in delivering circularity objectives.
• Stakeholder collaboration: Work with cross‑functional global internal and external partners to assess and implement closed‑loop material and value recovery solutions.
• Legal liaison: Act as the primary contact with the Legal team as the PIC to stay informed on relevant global legislation and compliance requirements.
• Advocacy: Promote awareness and understanding of circularity across the organization.

Key Deliverables

• Own data mapping of Dyson’s manufacturing and product wastes to identify opportunities in circularity and determine technical feasibility.
• Own sustaining engineering activities to facilitate the implementation of recycled material, including:
• Ensure vendors/CM traceability and reliability (output vs input analysis).
• Resolve potential technical escalations with vendors/CMs.
• Evaluate material and part level performance for quality assurance.
• Identify process improvement to increase yield and/or cost savings within circularity initiatives.

About You

• Mechanical / material / chemical engineering trained or equivalent.
• Passionate for sustainability with a drive to create and optimise processes.
• Detail‑oriented in data analysis; skilled in Power BI and Microsoft Suites (Tableau a plus).
• Strong communication and organisation skills.
• Independent and self‑driven with a can‑do spirit to tackle challenges and setbacks.
