About the Role
At Veolia, we see the opportunity to help the world take better care of its resources and create a better place for everyone.

As a Multiskilled Plant Driver, you will drive yellow plant equipment as required, support with loading vehicles, push up waste, and carry out running repairs and day-to-day plant maintenance. You will perform daily defect checks, accurately report near misses and incidents, keep detailed records of tasks completed, and identify potential hazards or areas for improvement to report to your supervisor. Adherence to established safety protocols at all times while on duty is essential.

Veolia offers 22 days of annual leave, access to a pension scheme, a free physiotherapy service, discounts on groceries and well-known retailers, and a range of resources to support your physical, mental, and financial health. You will also benefit from ongoing training and development opportunities and 24-hour access to a virtual GP service for you and your household members.

About you
Reliable and safety conscious with a proactive approach to identifying hazards and improvements. Willingness to learn and develop skills within the waste industry is desirable.
