Job Description
At Cory, we play a vital role in keeping London clean and sustainable by managing waste responsibly. Our Transfer Station at Northumberland Wharf is a key part of this mission, and we’re looking for a dedicated Transfer Station Operative to join our hardworking team. This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to contribute to a cleaner city and a greener future.
As a Transfer Station Operative, you’ll be at the heart of our operations, ensuring the smooth and safe handling of household and commercial waste. You’ll work closely with a team of skilled operatives, supporting the day-to-day running of the site and occasionally assisting at the Reuse and Recycling Centre (RRC). Every task you take on helps us deliver an efficient service to the community.
Your responsibilities will include operating machinery and cranes, or learning to do so if you’re new to this area. You’ll also help maintain a clean and tidy site, ensuring we meet health and safety standards and keep our neighbours happy by preventing complaints. This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same, and your contribution will make a real difference.
At Cory, we value inclusivity and diversity. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and actively support veterans and reservists through our Armed Forces Covenant. If you’re looking for a role where you can learn, grow, and be part of a supportive team, this could be the perfect fit.
Job requirements
We’re looking for someone with a flexible, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn. Previous experience at a Transfer Station or Reuse & Recycling Centre is helpful but not essential – we’ll provide training for the right candidate. What matters most is your commitment to working safely and effectively as part of a team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- You’ll need good communication skills and the ability to adapt to different tasks.
- This role involves shift work, including scheduled weekends, so flexibility is key.
- The shift pattern rotates weekly: early mornings (06:00–14:00), afternoons (14:00–22:00), and a week that includes Saturday and Sunday shifts (08:00–18:00). It’s vital that you’re able to arrive on time for these shifts to keep our site operating.
If you’re comfortable working outdoors and keen to develop new skills, such as operating mobile and fixed plant machinery, we’d love to hear from you. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and understands the importance of keeping the site clean and safe.
Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box—if you believe you can make a positive impact, we encourage you to apply. At Cory, we invest in our people and provide opportunities for growth and development.
Cory is an inclusive workplace for people of all backgrounds and walks of life.
As a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we actively encourage job applications from veterans and reservists, to whom we will provide additional assistance when needed.
You may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because you don’t match every single bullet point. We welcome your application if you feel you could make a positive impact in the role.
We don’t use AI to screen, score or select candidates — our recruitment is 100% human-led.
