  • Interpreting data produced from test equipment and effectively communicating deviations or abnormalities to the Laboratory Manager and Shift Supervisors.
  • Consistently meeting service levels for sampling and testing outputs.
  • Maintain the laboratory to an industry leading standard.
  • Raise any mechanical, process or product defects/anomalies as soon as they appear.
  • Manage storage of lab samples.

A Bit About Us

We are growing rapidly and so with that, opportunities to develop and try new approaches become aplenty. If you are energetic, hands on, with a willingness to learn and build a career at AO, then this is the environment for you. As we grow, we may move from a 2-shift (6am-2pm / 2pm-10pm Mon-Fri shift pattern to 24/5), and as we do this, AOer’s who move to this shift pattern will benefit from an additional hourly rate increase to compensate the unsociable hours.

We are part of a bigger group and with that backing comes stability and continued investment in our business and growth aspirations.

At the AO Plastics Recycling Plant, we are focused on creating industry leading product streams for our customers. We succeed through strong operational ownership of Safety, Environmental, Quality and productivity.
