Waste Transfer Attendant

Waste Attendant

Are you wanting to make a positive impact on the environment and work in a role where no two days are the same! 

We have a great opportunity for someone who is keen to be a part of a solid team in assisting with the essential service of waste management and a cleaner and greener future for our community. One day you could be working the Gatehouse, greeting customers and processing payments, the next working at City to Soil getting your hands dirty, not to mention a heap of other cool tasks you will undertake. Use your experience with front end loaders, excavators and forklifts to carry out general maintenance and tasks around the Waste Management Facility.

As a bonus, we will support you in gaining a Certificate III in Waste Management and offer you the benefit of a 9 day fortnight!
