Benefits

Are you a hands-on chemist with high safety standards looking to step up in the thriving environmental sector and use your hazardous waste knowledge and experience? Join Grundon's industry-leading facility in South Oxfordshire and you will gain further skills and progression opportunities. As Senior Site Chemist, on a full-time permanent contract, you will earn a competitive salary and a host of benefits, including:

• Discretionary company bonuses
• Pension scheme (you contribute 5% of pay, Grundon matches this) with life insurance cover
• 30 days' annual leave (inclusive of 8 bank holidays), which will increase with service, plus the option to buy up to 5 extra days' holiday
  
  

What You'll Be Doing As Senior Site Chemist

Part of a hard-working and highly skilled team, including graduate chemists, you will help with the day-to-day operation of the transfer station – receiving incoming consignments of waste, checking documentation, completing waste transfer notes and raising non-conformances. You can also expect to un/load lorries, operate waste processing machinery and plant, and inspect, classify and segregate waste deliveries.

As Senior Site Chemist, Your Extra Responsibilities Will Include

• Listing, segregating and packing waste for collection by our drivers on customer sites
• Driving company vans to collect small waste consignments
• Shunting vehicles around the yard for unloading/loading
• Assisting with contractor management on site
• Helping to plan daily tasks for site operators
  
  

The work involves an element of physical labour and conditions can be uncomfortable – e.g. working in a chemical protection suit.

What We're Looking For In Our Senior Site Chemist

• Good chemistry knowledge is a must – you have a degree (minimum HNC) in Chemistry or a Chemistry/Environmental-related discipline.
• Understanding of the hazards of materials received at the transfer station
• Competent at operating machinery and plant safely
• Understanding of Best Available Techniques (BAT) processes.
• Driving licence and own transport due to site location
  
  

This isn't a lab-based job so you'll need to show us that you're willing to work outside – perhaps you have experience of working outdoors, or an interest that involves being outside in all weathers.

Working hours: 7am-4pm or 9am-6pm Mon-Fri, rotated on a fortnightly basis. A total of 40 hours per week.
