The role also involves loading and unloading vehicles, transporting waste materials to approved disposal sites, assisting with site set‑up and operational activities, and contributing to a positive health and safety culture. Flexibility is important, as you'll be required to participate in an emergency call‑out rota and occasionally work outside of standard hours when operational needs require.
