£24,255 plus package
Who is Sherbourne Recycling?
Sherbourne Recycling was created in 2021 to develop and operate a new state of the art recycling facility on behalf of eight local authorities (Coventry City Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, Rugby Borough Council, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Walsall Council and Warwick District Council).
This is one of the most advanced recycling facilities in the UK, utilising AI and robots to create a flexible recycling management solution, able to adapt and flex to changing waste composition and legislation, producing high quality valuable recycled materials opening new markets.
Technically, this is hugely exciting, and we have created an extremely attractive place to both learn in and work. What is most important for us though, is building a workforce from the communities it will be serving. We want people who want to be a part of our journey, people who want to be part of a team working towards a common goal.
We are currently looking for a Mechanical Technician to join the engineering team and help with the operation and maintenance of the plant. This is a junior level position with full training and would suit someone looking to take their first step into a career in mechanical engineering. You’ll be learning about the AI and robotic equipment at the same time as the equipment is learning about the materials we are feeding through the process.
This is a factory environment, and we’re approaching recycling in the same way other manufacturing companies build and make their products. There are three shifts, including a night shift, which you will rotate through on a weekly basis.
A formal mechanical engineering qualification such as a BTEC or similar would be advantageous but anyone with some form of mechanical aptitude is encouraged to apply. More important is the right person fit for the role and the business.
This is a great opportunity, one which offers significant long-term stability, training, and development.
We believe that the key to a creative and positive working environment is achieved when different perspectives and backgrounds are engaged. This is why we champion diversity and equality at every turn.
