Are you a qualified Fabricator/Welder looking for your next role? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Technician to join our Project Engineering team on our Plastic recycling plant in Telford.
At AO Recycling, we are committed to extracting as much value as possible from the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) that is thrown away by UK households every year. We are growing rapidly and so with that, opportunities to develop and try new approaches become aplenty. If you are energetic, hands-on, innovative, and professional, this is the environment for you.
Our fully automated fridge recycling plant is the most efficient and advanced in the UK and sets a new standard in recovering metals, plastics, and gases. It processes 100 fridges per hour, 700,000 per year. Our second site is a fully automated plastic recycling facility where we combine sink-float technology and electrostatic separation to turn mixed fridge plastics into high-quality recycled products.
As AO’s new Maintenance Technician (Fabrication/Welding), part of our Projects team, you will play a massive part in keeping our plant one of the most efficient and advanced in the UK. You will play a key role during the installation of new equipment as well as completing plant upgrades, optimisations and other improvement work.
