Daily duties include picking and sorting various scrap materials, operating machinery to move items around the yard, and safely loading and unloading vehicles. You will also perform equipment pre‑checks, inspect incoming loads for quality, and may act as a yard marshal to direct traffic while enforcing health and safety standards.
The ideal candidate is responsible, proactive and safety‑conscious, with a strong ‘can‑do’ attitude and a focus on teamwork. Excellent customer service, the ability to work outdoors in all conditions, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of organisation and cleanliness are essential.
The role offers a sustainable career that contributes to EMR’s ambitious goal of achieving net‑zero carbon emissions by 2040. As a General Yard Operative you will receive comprehensive training, upskilling opportunities and a clear pathway for progression within the business.
EMR gives new life to unwanted materials, recycling 10 million tonnes of metal and plastic each year and preventing 19 million tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere. This mission is only possible thanks to its dedicated employees, whose contributions are recognised through a supportive and inclusive culture.

Together, we: - Recycle, repurpose and reuse metals and plastics. - Innovate to solve the challenges of tomorrow. - Deliver specialist services, such as marine recycling, automotive, fridges, wind turbines and much more. - Stop over 15 million tonnes of carbon from entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
