About Our Opportunity:
The role of a Team Leader at EMR Group is broad in its requirements and provides a challenging but rewarding working environment. Supporting the Daily Operations in the Shredder.
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead by example in promoting a Safety First culture, ensuring all activities are conducted in line with health, safety, and environmental standards.
- Organise, lead, and develop operational teams to achieve production, safety, quality, and performance targets.
- Coordinate plant, equipment, and labour resources to ensure the efficient delivery of daily operational objectives.
- Ensure materials are processed, graded, and stored correctly whilst maintaining high standards of housekeeping across the yard.
- Monitor stock movements and support effective stock control processes to maintain inventory accuracy.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to maximise yard efficiency, productivity, and operational performance.
- Provide clear direction, coaching, and performance feedback to team members to support their development and performance.
- Support and encourage ongoing training and development, ensuring team members maintain the skills and qualifications required for their roles.
- Take a hands-on approach to problem-solving and decision-making within a fast-paced operational environment.
About You
- Proven experience leading teams within a production, recycling, manufacturing, or heavy industrial environment.
- A strong commitment to Safety First, with the ability to promote and maintain a positive safety culture.
- Strong communicator with the ability to motivate, coach, and influence others.
- Excellent understanding of processes, material movements, and inventory management.
- Self-motivated and committed to continuous professional development and learning.
- Confident in making decisions and resolving operational challenges in a fast-paced environment.
- Flexible and adaptable, with a hands-on approach to supporting day-to-day operations.
- Results-driven with a focus on operational excellence, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
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.
