Full-Time | Permanent | Monday–Friday | Wrexham
We are a small, established family-run waste and recycling business in Wrexham, looking for a reliable and hardworking Class 2 Skip Driver / Yard & Plant Operative to join our team.
This is a varied, hands-on role covering skip deliveries and collections, plant operation and general yard duties. We’re looking for someone who is flexible, has a strong work ethic and is willing to get stuck in wherever needed.

Duties will include:
- Driving a Class 2 skip lorry, carrying out skip deliveries and collections
- Operating excavators and telehandlers
- Sorting and segregating waste on the yard
- Loading, moving and processing materials
- General manual work and yard duties
- Keeping the site clean, tidy and organised
- Carrying out daily vehicle and plant checks
- Reporting defects or maintenance issues
- Following site health & safety procedures
- Assisting with other duties as required to keep the site running efficiently

- Happy working outdoors in all weather conditions
