About Recover

Recover is the UK's first lithium-ion recycling service that actually recycles 100% of what it collects--

right here in the UK

. We're proudly partnered with the country's only in-house lithium-ion recycling solution, and we're on a mission to offer a

genuinely sustainable

end-of-life solution for batteries from e-scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, and now home energy storage systems like the MCX.

We are

not

a collection service that sends batteries to landfills or incinerators. We're building something better--honest, local, and 100% focused on

safe, eco-conscious recycling

.

You'll be joining an ambitious and fast-moving team, with national expansion plans set to roll out in the next 18 months.

Important Note on Safety

Lithium-ion batteries are

inherently dangerous

and must be handled with strict care. Combustion and chemical risks are real. We are looking for someone who takes health & safety seriously and is confident following procedures.
