About The Role
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join us at our AO Recycling plant here in Telford. You’ll be leading a team of engineers and overseeing all maintenance and engineering activity on-site.
AO is known as the destination for electricals, but we’re also one of the UK’s biggest recyclers of fridges and other Large Domestic Appliances (LDAs). We turn old fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers into valuable resources.
Our recycling plant sets a new standard in recovering metals, plastics, and gases. The whole process is fully automated and done using a series of screens, magnetic separators, and air classifiers. Pretty cool, right?
