About Our Opportunity

We’re looking for a Battery Recycling Warehouse Operative to support the safe and efficient handling, acceptance, movement, and transport of high-voltage vehicle batteries and modules within our recycling facility.

You’ll play a key role in keeping materials moving through the process safely, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring equipment and work areas are kept to a high standard.

What You Will Be Doing

• Safely moving and organising batteries and other materials throughout the facility.
• Offloading and completing initial acceptance checks on inbound batteries and vehicles.
• Loading materials for onward transport and recycling.
• Driving vehicles offsite to collect batteries, we will provide a company van for this.
• Maintaining accurate records and providing updates on inbound, outbound, and stored materials.
• Operating and maintaining equipment in line with company and manufacturer procedures.
• Following and contributing to SOPs, risk assessments, and process documentation.
• Ensuring full compliance with Health & Safety requirements and PPE standards.

• Maintaining a safe, clean and organised workplace in line with 5S standards.

About You

• Experience operating forklift trucks; forklift certification is desirable.
• Overhead crane experience/licence is desirable.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team.

• Willing to undertake occasional UK site visits.

If you’re practical, safety-focused and keen to develop your experience in the growing EV battery recycling sector, we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are:

The products we’ll all need tomorrow depend on us making the most of today’s end-of-life metals, plastics and other materials.

Take a car at the end of its life - most people just see a…car at the end of its life.

We see steel, aluminium, copper, plastics, rubber, glass, parts, fluids, costs, risks, markets and – most importantly - possibilities.

Now, multiply that by thousands of cars – we recover, reuse and recycle all those valuable materials and put them back to work as low-carbon materials for manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and transport.

And that’s just one thing we recycle. Add buildings, factories, ships, railways and industrial equipment. That’s all our hard work – the gritty, practical, commercial, difficult work our 4,000 global colleagues do every day.

Anything from a can to an aircraft carrier can become anything from a bicycle to a building and, at the same time, we help to avoid 19 million tonnes of carbon and 10 million tonnes of waste to landfill, protecting nature, resources and the next generation’s future.

Which is all well and good for us to say, but this is what the real people behind the really hard work think:

“The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.”

“I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.”

“I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.”

‘‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility and hard work.”

Four years as a certified Great Place To Work is no small feat. Oh, and don’t forget one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing, Production and Transportation. That’s pretty good too.

But we can do better. We’re aiming for a place in the top 60 companies in the UK – not for the accolade but for the improvement. A journey you should probably join us for.

If you want to be part of something bigger than yourself, have a role that really makes a difference and work with likeminded people towards the same purpose, this is the role for you.
