Site Chemist
Staffordshire
Up to £30,000 depending on experience
Full-time | Onsite
Our client is a leading waste management business supporting customers across the UK with compliant, safe, and sustainable waste solutions. With a strong focus on operational excellence and environmental responsibility, they play a critical role in managing complex waste streams within a regulated environment.
They are now looking to appoint a Site Chemist to join their onsite operations team in Staffordshire.
The Role
Working closely with site management and operational teams, the Site Chemist will support the safe and compliant processing of waste through a busy transfer station. This is a hands-on, practical role combining chemical inspection, sampling, documentation, and day-to-day site support.
You'll be responsible for ensuring incoming and outgoing waste meets regulatory and permit requirements, while maintaining high standards of safety, housekeeping, and compliance.
What You'll Be Doing
Inspect and assess incoming waste loads to ensure they meet pre-acceptance criteria
Use chemical knowledge and basic wet chemistry techniques to identify and verify waste contents
Support the preparation, segregation, and consolidation of outgoing waste loads
Raise and manage non-conformances where waste falls outside agreed parameters
Carry out sampling, testing, and stock control in line with site permits
Complete all required documentation, consignment notes, and site records
Work closely with site operatives and other technical colleagues to keep the site safe, compliant, and organised
Support occasional off-site activities once fully trained and experienced
What They're Looking For
A degree in Chemistry or a closely related scientific discipline
Practical experience working in a regulated, industrial, or waste environment (desirable but not essential)
A strong understanding of health, safety, and environmental compliance
Methodical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a hands-on, onsite role
Confident working as part of a close-knit operational team
Keen to develop professionally within a technical and regulated setting
Why Join?
Salary up to £30,000 depending on experience
Join a well-established and respected waste management operation
Full-time, stable onsite role
Opportunity to build long-term technical experience within a regulated industry
Supportive team environment with ongoing learning and development
