  • Follow all health and safety procedures, risk assessments, and safe systems of work.
  • Wear and maintain the correct PPE at all times.
  • Record production data, downtime, and operational issues accurately.
  • Communicate effectively during shift handovers and report any safety or operational concerns.
  • Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve plant performance and efficiency.

Essential:
  • Previous experience operating industrial plant or machinery.
  • Good understanding of health and safety practices within an industrial environment.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
Desirable:
  • Experience within the waste management or recycling industry.
