We're proud to have achieved Great Place To Work status for three years running - and to be recognised among the UK's Best Workplaces in Manufacturing, Production & Transportation.

But it's about so much more than badges to us, it's about being recognised by our people for the continuous work we do to do better for them.

About Our Opportunity

Are you looking to work with cars and have a sustainable career while truly making the world better, fairer and greener for the next generation?

We approximately recycle up to 95% of a vehicle which massively reduces our negative impact on the environment. You will be a key player in making the world a better place by doing this.

Whether you're mechanically minded, an experienced tyre fitter or you have a passion for upcycling vehicles in your spare time, then this role will be right up your street!

Not only will you learn all aspects of how to recycle a car, from recycling a wing mirror to the catalytic converter.

We will train you in all aspects of ELV operations, including gaining your FLT license, small tools, car de pollution and much more.

What You Will Be Doing

This role isn't just a 'hands on' kind of position. Besides physically recycling the vehicle, a huge part of this role is providing excellent customer service to all our customers. Meeting and greeting and interacting with customers is a key part of this role.

Don't worry, we will provide you with all the tools, training and support you need to become successful within the role.

About You

You're the kind of person who always likes to learn new things and is always looking to do better with a great attitude at work. Your passion for providing excellent customer service will be second to none. You will have a genuine interest in working with cars.

So if you have a great attitude and are looking to build a sustainable career, then this job will be perfect for you.
