Recycling Operative

Do you have experience of operating machinery and mobile plant, including loading shovels, 360 excavators and forklift trucks? If you're naturally practical, willing to work outdoors and happy with a rotating shift pattern, how about joining a committed team as permanent Recycling Operative at Grundon's busy recycling facility at Colnbrook, near Heathrow? Starting pay is from £656 per week (including shift allowance), depending on your skill level, plus a host of great benefits, including:

• Discretionary company bonuses
• Pension scheme (you contribute 5% of pay, Grundon matches this) with life insurance cover
• 31 days’ annual leave (inclusive of 8 bank holidays), which will increase with service, plus the option to buy up to 5 extra days' holiday

What you’ll be doing as Recycling Operative
Our Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) are plants where materials like paper, cardboard, cans and bottles are separated and sorted from tipped waste, baled and sent on to be recycled.

It's a varied role: you might go from sweeping one minute to operating an excavator the next, to clearing a blockage that would cause downtime, or loading a shipping container with bales of recovered paper.

Working hours: Average 44.75 hours per week on a two-week rotating shift pattern. Week 1: 6am-2.30pm Mon-Fri. Week 2: 2.30pm-12.30am Mon-Thurs, 2.30pm-10pm Fri, plus alternate Sat mornings, 6am-10.30am
