Job Description

Weighbridge Operator

About the Company

Powerday is a thriving, modern family business providing a friendly, caring and exciting place to work. A leading London recycling and waste management company, we help clients - including the construction sector, commercial premises, local authorities, and other waste management companies - manage their resources as sustainably as possible. To us that means helping clients keep materials in their highest form to retain their value, recycling as much as possible and recovering the rest of their waste to generate energy. It means operating six sites across London to maximise our efficiency and minimise transport emissions and investing in state-of-the-art technology to enable 100% diversion of waste from landfill, with all sites run on renewable energy to help minimise the carbon footprint of our operations.

It's important to us to be at the forefront of our industry. We invest and innovate to achieve best practice in environmental, health & safety, quality, and fleet management. We support our employees to gain the knowledge and skills needed to meet these commitments, and we retain the accreditations and reporting systems to prove our achievements.

We have a strong community ethos and support our local communities in many ways. We help young, disadvantaged Londoners, through the power of sport with the Powerday Foundation - supported by our close links with London Boxing and Down Syndrome Swimming - and through the provision of career opportunities with Powerday Academy. Our work in the community is as important to us as our waste management services and we encourage our employees to get involved in our community activities.

Powerday operates from well-presented, comfortable offices with on-site secure, free parking - though we encourage use of public transport (our Head Office is a short walk from Willesden Junction station) or cycling (we operate a Cycle to Work scheme) where possible. Our offices are well-equipped with kitchens and break-out areas, and our head office has gym facilities available to all employees.

As a team, we all work hard and to high standards, but we have fun whilst doing so. The company offers great training and development opportunities through the Powerday Academy and provides health and wellbeing support which helps ensure we remain a healthy, happy, and productive team.
