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.

What You'll Bring
We're seeking a reliable operator with hands-on experience using heavy machinery like compactors and forklifts in a waste management or similar setting.

Flexibility is important—you’ll be available for part-time hours, including weekends when needed.
If you're practical, safety-conscious, and ready to contribute to a high-performing team, we’d love to hear from you!
