About the Role
Pertemps is recruiting a skilled and versatile Heavy Plant & Telehandler Operator to join our established waste management client, Bailey's Skip Hire, at their active recycling facility in Corby.
In this role, you will play a key part in daily yard operations. While the site utilises 3.5T Telehandler trucks for moving materials, you will also be regularly operating heavy machinery-specifically a 360-grab excavator and a Loading Shovel-to sort, load, and manage incoming waste.

Monday to Friday: 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Saturdays: 7:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Saturday frequency is negotiable (e.g., every Saturday or every other Saturday).
Key Responsibilities
Waste Handling: Safely operate a 360-grab to sort, stockpile, and feed various waste streams into processing equipment.
Yard Loading: Operate the Loading Shovel to move bulk materials and load bulkers or skips.
Telehandler Operation: Utilise the on-site 3.5T Telehandler trucks for transporting sorted materials and organising the yard safely.
Maintenance & Checks: Complete daily pre-start safety inspections and routine maintenance (greasing, fluid top-ups) on all operated machinery.
Health & Safety: Maintain strict adherence to site health and safety rules within a busy, high-volume waste environment.
Experience & Requirements (Essential)
Industry Experience: Proven track record working within the waste management or recycling industry.
Machinery Competency: Hands-on experience driving/operating a 360 Excavator, Loading Shovel, or JCB.
Licenses/Tickets: Relevant and valid plant cards (e.g., CPCS, NPORS) for 360 Excavator, Wheeled Loader, or Telehandler are highly advantageous.
Reliability: A strong work ethic and the physical stamina required to handle a 12-hour weekday shift pattern.
What's on Offer?
Competitive Pay: £14.00 - £15.00 per hour DOE.
Stable Hours: High earning potential with consistent weekly hours and overtime.
Flexibility: Negotiable Saturday shift patterns to support your work-life balance.
Support: Direct representation and weekly pay through Pertemps.
