General Yard Operative

2 weeks ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom European Metal Recycling Full time

About our opportunity:
All the carbon we save, all the materials we recycle and all the waste we divert starts on our yards and with our Yard Operatives.

Join EMR and help us to identify valuable materials so that we can use the resources we have today to make the products we need tomorrow.

What you will be doing:
Once our amazing customers have handed over their unwanted materials, you’ll be the hero in a hard hat that uses their expert knowledge of metals and plastics to sort, grade and consolidate the individual materials.

Our machinery does all the really tough stuff for us, but it can't strip the cable, ready for granulation, all by itself. We need you to operate it, safely and efficiently.

And our Depot Manager will think of you as their right-hand person, knowing they can call on you for support.

About you:
We don’t believe in shutting doors on potential, so we don’t ask for qualifications or experience. We can teach you everything you need to know. What we can’t teach is:

- Enthusiasm
- Teamwork
- Smiling through all weather conditions
- Getting stuck in and hands on

If you have these qualities, you’re already well on your way to being an incredible Yard Operative. We’ll happily fill in the gaps by developing your knowledge, skills, and expertise on the job. And we won’t stop training you once you’ve reached peak Operative status, because when you work for a global leader in sustainable materials, there is no limit to your career progression.

Who we are?
‘Our purpose is to create a future where the materials we use don’t need to be extracted from the planet.’

At EMR, we give new life to unwanted materials. Every year, we recycle 10 million tonnes of metals and plastics, saving 15.7 million tonnes of carbon from entering the Earth’s atmosphere, diverting waste from landfill and protecting resources and habitats.

We couldn’t do any of this without our team members. In return for all they do, we do everything we can to create an environment of belonging, value, support, and growth.

We’re proud to have achieved Great Place To Work status, but it’s about so much more than a badge. It’s about being recognised by our people for the continuous work we do to do better for them:
‘The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.’

‘I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.’

‘I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.’

‘‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility, and hard work.’
