Help Turn Waste into Opportunity

At VEKA, sustainability is more than a goal. It is part of how we manufacture innovative products every day. As a Plastic Recycling Operator, you will play a direct role in our recycling process by transforming PVC material into valuable recycled material used in VEKA's Outdoor Living Products (OLP).

If you are looking for a hands‑on position where your work contributes to environmental responsibility and waste reduction, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

• Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE.
• Support VEKA's ongoing commitment to recycling and sustainable manufacturing.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Why This Role Matters

What We're Looking For

• Mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn.
• Self‑motivated and ability to work independently.
• Commitment to safety and quality.

Qualifications

• Forklift certification preferred (training available for qualified candidates) to move material into and from the recycling area, but not necessary to apply for this job opportunity.
