The Recycling and Waste Centre Attendant is part of a team that provides recycling options for a vast array of materials.

- Minimum 2-3 years previous experience in a role preferably in a customer service-oriented environment;
- Must be pro-active and willing to learn;
- Must have good interpersonal skills, both verbal and written;
- Experience running small mobile equipment such as a forklift is an asset, but is not necessary;
- An ability and willingness to work shift work (day shifts only with four on and four off)), some weekends; and
- A friendly personality combined with a “roll-up your sleeves and get it done” attitude
- A good sense of humour is considered an asset, and is necessary.
**What do we have to offer you?**
- A solid organization within which you are able to develop your competencies for future growth;
- A comprehensive benefits package;
- As part of a small team, ongoing support and resources to ensure your success in this role;
