What you're going to do

As a forklift operator or wheel loader operator (m/f/x) at a plastic recycling company, you play a key role in the recycling process. You choose to operate the forklift or the wheel loader, depending on the certificate you have. If you have both certificates, you can alternate between the machines. A valid certificate for at least one of the two machines is required. You move plastic waste around the site and handle loading and unloading trucks. You work closely with your colleagues to ensure everything runs safely and orderly. Please note, the plastic can sometimes have an odor, but your contribution directly supports a sustainable future.


On a typical workday, you start at 6 a.m. You operate the machine you are certified for and, if you have both certificates, you may switch as needed. You load and unload trucks, sort plastic waste, and make sure everything is done safely and efficiently. After four weeks of work in Lanaken, you get four weeks off in Poland. This unique rotation offers you an excellent work-life balance.


Are you ready for this challenge? Would you like to be part of an enthusiastic team and help build a greener planet? Apply today and make a difference as a forklift operator or wheel loader operator!
