- Great team environment
- Local Muswellbrook region role
- Opportunity to gain industry qualifications
- Be part of helping the community recycle and reduce landfill

- Maximising recycling and resource recovery opportunities
- Assisting customers with mulch, woodchip and Reuse Shop purchases
- Maintaining a clean and tidy facility
- Operating plant and equipment (where qualified)
- Supporting site safety and security procedures
- Following WHS requirements and contributing to a safe workplace
What We're Looking For

- Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office and data entry)
- Cash handling or retail experience
- A willingness to work outdoors in all conditions
- A Class C Driver's Licence or higher
- White Card (or ability to obtain)
- Waste industry or operational experience highly regarded
