Summary
Contract: 18-month fixed-term
We are looking for loaders for our refuse collection service working out of our Torr Quarry Depot. Waste and recycling experience is great, but enthusiasm counts for a lot so don’t be put off.
It’s a fit job walking up to 10 miles a day, so you’ll certainly have your daily step count covered! Rain or shine and the occasional snow, the wheels keep on turning, so you must be able to work outdoors in all weather conditions collecting kerbside wheeled bins and box recycling collections.
For further details, please contact Andy Patton, Operations Manager on 01803 861158 or email andy.patton@swdevon.gov.uk
Applications will be reviewed as we receive them. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
