WHY THIS ROLE

CAC Metal Recycling is hiring a Non-Ferrous Metal Equipment Operator for its Acheson yard, an entry to mid-level labour and operator role.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Grade and sort accurately. Identify copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, alloys and motors and keep each grade clean and separate.

• Operate yard equipment. Run assigned equipment safely and independently, including loading and unloading bins and containers.

• Screen incoming material. Check loads for hazardous items and report anything unusual right away.

• Keep good records. Record weights, grades and bin IDs the same shift.

• Finish your work. Complete tasks to the end, hand over what is not done, and leave your area clean and ready.
