Company Description

We are New Zealand's leading materials recovery, recycling, and waste management provider.

Our team are passionate environmentalists, committed to powering the circular economy for future generations of Aotearoa New Zealand.

About the role

  • Look after the site, keeping buildings, grounds, roadways, and landscaping neat, tidy, and safe.
  • Pitch in with general labouring tasks when needed (we're all about teamwork here).
  • Assist with basic admin, like completing records and paperwork as needed.

If you're someone who enjoys working outdoors, doesn't mind getting stuck in, and takes pride in doing a good job, we'd love to hear from you

Qualifications
