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;

Whilst not essential, workers with a trade background will be looked on favourably.

You are fit to perform a range of physical tasks, including standing, walking and lifting - all in a safe and considered manner. You're a good communicator and have the ability to work well under pressure.

You'll be able to work independently and use your initiative to get things done, at the same time, enjoy working as part of a team. No job is too small, you will be able to adapt to changes in work loads and keen to learn new skills, processes and procedures.
