As the face of our operation, you will help ensure consumer waste and recycling reaches its destination, whether it's a transfer station or waste recovery centre.

You will be confident communicating with the Depot and Customer Service Centre, reporting non collections, anomalies with routes, vehicle defects, and other critical information to maintain our service standards.

To be successful in this role, it is essential that you have a good understanding of the Yorkshire area, and although it would be desirable to have experience in collections and routes, we are committed to train a successful candidate with the willingness to learn and develop.

Working outside and in a manual environment, this role can be physically demanding. You will be required to load and maneuver heavy waste containers onto a vehicle lifting mechanism, plus handle and move other items as required.

It is desirable that you have a full UK Driving Licence, as you may be required to travel between sites during your work day.
