• Keeping an eye on stock levels and alerting the team when something’s running low.
• Helping out with daily deliveries by prepping loads and safely operating equipment (if trained).
• Supporting the Recycling Yard when needed by directing customers where to dump, helping unload materials, or identifying restricted items.
• Staying organized- whether that’s keeping the bunkered materials tidy or cleaning up the yard and surrounding areas.
