Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom Big Atom Ltd Full time

**Would you like to be part of building a future without waste?**

Big Atom is a recycling company on a mission to end polymer waste by reverse manufacturing all types of rubbers and plastics into recycled crude. We are building an infrastructure to process rubber from tyres, before expanding into plastics. We operate a waste tyre collection service, processing plant and an in-house innovation arm developing material separation equipment, pyrolysis technology and software enabling efficient operations management.

At Big Atom we nurture a collaborative and innovative environment to encourage entrepreneurial behaviours. To find solutions to complex problems we promote curiosity, first principle thinking and adopting a growth mindset. We challenge the notion that ‘it has always been done this way’.
