  • Communicate effectively with team members and other stakeholders, ensuring clarity and accuracy.
  • Maintain a strong attention to detail in all tasks and processes.
  • Stay informed about health and safety standards in the waste management industry (prior knowledge is a plus, but full training will be provided).
  • Apply analytical skills to identify opportunities for enhancing health and safety practices.
  • Demonstrate a passion for improving workplace safety and supporting a culture of continuous improvement.

Our Essential Requirements

  • At least a GCSE (or equivalent) in Maths and English
  • Strong team player with the ability to collaborate effectively
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Proficient in using IT systems
  • Knowledge of hazard/near miss reporting procedures
  • Health and Safety experience
  • Experience working with multiple computer screens simultaneously

We’re here to change the way people think about waste.

Whether we’re turning waste into sustainable power, finding new ways to recycle it or simply keeping it off the streets, we believe every day is an opportunity to improve the lives of millions. Over 10,000 people around the country trust us to provide them with a career that’s always rewarding, often challenging, but never dull.

Dedicated to diversity.

Being inclusive is core to our culture at Biffa; we believe different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds are key to developing a creative and effective working environment that represents our communities and generates the best outcomes for colleagues, customers and stakeholders, which is why you’ll find us championing diversity, equity and inclusion at every turn.
