  • Help maximise recycling by ensuring waste is correctly sorted and segregated.
  • Direct and control site traffic to ensure the safe movement of vehicles and site users.
  • Monitor waste entering the site to ensure it complies with site licence requirements.
  • Assist with the safe handling and segregation of hazardous and special waste.
  • Keep the site clean, safe and well maintained, including basic housekeeping and maintenance duties.
  • Maintain site records and complete relevant paperwork accurately.
  • Help prevent unauthorised tipping, theft and other inappropriate use of the site.
  • Deliver excellent customer service and represent Biffa in a professional and positive manner.
  • Follow all health, safety, environmental and operational procedures at all times.
  • Work as part of a team to maintain high standards of service across the site.

Our essential requirements.

  • Good customer service and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working directly with members of the public.
  • Able to work effectively as part of a team and use your own initiative.
  • Able to deal confidently and professionally with difficult situations.
  • A good understanding of, or interest in, recycling and waste segregation.
  • Basic literacy, numeracy and record-keeping skills.
  • Reliable, self-motivated and able to manage competing priorities.
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Willing to work weekends and bank holidays, with rest days during the week.
  • A strong commitment to health and safety.

Desirable.

  • Previous experience within the waste or recycling industry.
  • Basic health and safety knowledge.
  • Experience carrying out basic site maintenance or minor repairs.
  • Experience working outdoors in adverse weather conditions.
  • A full driving licence.

Join us and play your part in helping create a cleaner, greener future for the local community.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
