(Keep reading if not, because we'll train you up if we think you're the right person for the job.) Are you naturally practical, and willing to work outdoors? Enjoy team work and the opportunity to learn new skills? As Recycling Operative at our largest MRF facility near Heathrow, you'll be working with five people each week from an overall team of 14 on different shift patterns. Interested?
What you'll be doing as Recycling Operative
Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) are busy plants where materials like paper, cardboard, cans and bottles are separated and sorted from tipped waste, baled and sent on to be recycled.
By using amazing state-of-the-art sorting technology, we can typically recover over 90% of the materials passing through the MRF for subsequent recycling!
You might go from sweeping one minute to operating an excavator the next, to clearing a blockage or loading a shipping container with bales of recovered paper. It's an environment that's not for everyone (think noisy and smelly), but it's a varied and vital job and we'll give you the training and PPE you need.
What you'll need
If you have a basic understanding of the waste industry, ideally with experience in a recycling processing plant/baler operations, then that's a plus.
