* Carrying out minor interventions and reporting faults to reduce downtime.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience operating static plant (baler, crusher, shredder, or similar equipment).
* Good awareness of health & safety procedures in an industrial environment.
* Ability to focus and stay alert during late shifts.
* A team player with strong attention to detail and good reaction times.
* Waste or recycling experience is desirable but not essential.

* Production Bonus
* Overtime opportunities
* Fixed Monday–Friday hours (3 PM – 1 AM)
