You will deliver exceptional front-line service at the Rediscovery Centre and Weighbridge, ensuring a smooth, friendly, and efficient experience for every customer. With a sharp eye for detail, you will accurately inspect and process loads, manage POS transactions with precision, and actively contribute to the presentation and marketing of quality recyclable products.
