Are you technically minded, do you enjoy working with machines, and do you like to roll up your sleeves? For a leading player in the recycling sector, we are looking for a working team leader who shares responsibility for the daily organization of the scrap yard. You will join a stable, growing environment where initiative and responsibility are strongly encouraged.

  • Performing crane work with a loose grab after thorough internal training
  • Following up on maintenance of machines such as cranes, forklifts, and scrap shears
  • Overseeing safety, order, and cleanliness on the yard
  • In possession of a technical diploma or equivalent experience
