You will initially start on day shift learning the fundamentals of the role before being integrated into the rotating shift roster. Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

  • Operation of forklift, front end loader and tipper truck, loading and offloading raw materials, ensuring batches of raw materials and recycled glass are to a required standard;
