Are you looking to have a sustainable career? Whilst truly making the world better, fairer and greener for the next generation. 

You will be a true hero in the eyes of future generations to come.  By playing a key part in our bold commitment to transform our business into a provider of net zero carbon sustainable materials by 2040. You truly will be making the world a be a better place to live for the next generation. 

This role is bursting with opportunity for the right person. Our Metal Quality Inspectors are the people on the ground who keep traffic in and out of the depot flowing smoothly and safely and ensure we deliver the best customer service. Without their keen eye for detail, organisational and problem-solving skills, our depots wouldn't be the successes they are today.

What You Will Be Doing: 

• ​You will manage all vehicles entering and exiting the depot, liaising with customers and other team members to keep a steady flow of traffic moving within the depot. 
• You will act as first point of contact for customers to resolve any issues/problems, developing and maintaining professional relationships. 
• You will compile reports and update EMR's database plus accurately grading incoming and outgoing scrap deliveries to agreed EMR standards. 
• You will assist in Identifying and separating non-conforming materials, recording and documenting evidence, and applying the associated penalties. 
• You will provide assistance in hand sorting and separating different metal types and grades into the relevant bays, bales or containers. 

About You: 

• Previous experience in a similar role or environment

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.
