Cory operates the Transfer Station at Smugglers Way in addition to its existing Transfer Stations operated on behalf of the Western Riverside Waste Authority (Cringle Dock), City of London (Walbrook Wharf), Tower Hamlets (Northumberland Wharf) and Barking.
About the Role
As a Transfer Station Operative at Smugglers Way, you’ll play a vital part in keeping one of London’s key waste facilities running safely, efficiently and smoothly. Every day is different, and your contribution directly supports the communities and businesses we serve across the capital.
You’ll work alongside experienced operatives, processing household and commercial waste and ensuring the site operates to the highest standards. This is a role where teamwork matters — everyone relies on one another to keep operations flowing and the site safe and tidy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
