Summary

NW Recruitment Services are currently recruiting Refuse Loaders to work with our client based in Nelson and surrounding areas.

Our client carries out daily refuse and recycling collections and is looking for reliable staff to join the team on a regular basis.

Working hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 7:30am – 3:30pm
- Friday: 7:30am – 3:00pm

Duties will include:
- Working outdoors as part of a recycling and refuse collection team
- Collecting household recycling and waste materials
- Lifting and moving bins and recyclable items
- Following all client Health & Safety procedures at all times
- Attending and completing a full site induction
- Working outdoors in all weather conditions
