  • Maintain the cleanliness, organisation, and professionalism of the weighbridge office environment
  • Perform routine weekly inspections of the weighbridge to ensure it is operating accurately and efficiently
  • Identify and report any faults, damage, or irregularities in compliance with health, safety, and operational standards.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Essential
  • A solid understanding of customer service principles and operational processes.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with drivers, contractors, colleagues, and the public
  • Good computer literacy (including MS Word and Excel) and the ability to learn site systems such as weighbridge software and MP Connect
  • Excellent attention to detail, ensuring accuracy in weighing, recording, and payment processing
  • A proactive approach to maintaining safety and compliance standards
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively
  • A collaborative and team-focused mindset, with the ability to work closely with other sites and commercial functions
  • The ability to remain calm, courteous, and professional in high-pressure or challenging situations
  • A self-starting, responsible, and dependable work ethic, with the ambition to learn and grow in the role.
Desirable
  • Previous experience in a similar role (e.g., weighbridge, logistics, waste).
  • Knowledge of waste management regulations or transport documentation.
  • Forklift or plant machinery license (if applicable to the site).
  • Flexibility to work shifts or weekends.
