Our client is a recognised leader in sustainable waste reduction, specialising in the recovery and recycling of mattresses that would otherwise end up in landfill. Their operation plays an important role in reducing environmental impact, and they are looking for reliable, hardworking individuals to join their team in Blackburn.
This role suits people who are practical, physically capable, and motivated to work in a structured, target-driven environment.
The Role

*
Using an iPad to complete basic checklists and inspections when required

You will ideally be:
*
Physically fit and comfortable with repetitive lifting and manual work
