Non-Ferro Specialist/Forklift Operator

Non-Ferro Specialist/Forklift Operator

Do you want to get started on practical projects, work with a forklift and at the same time learn a profession with future prospects? At HKS Eindhoven you will work in the heart of the recycling and metal industry and develop yourself into a true specialist.

No experience with different metal types yet? No problem, we’ll teach you. You’ll start in the field, learn more about metals and recycling, and have the opportunity to grow internally into a Non-Ferro Specialist.

So: would you rather learn by doing than sit still all day? Then we’re looking for you!

Why work at HKS?

Teamwork, personal development, and innovation are intrinsically woven into HKS's culture. Working at HKS means abundant opportunities, with a focus on your personal development and growth ambitions.

Do you want to start working in metal processing and at the same time realize your professional ambitions? Then come and work at HKS and make a difference every day at the market leader in metal recycling! HKS is part of the Remondis/Rethmann group.

Your role

As a Non-Ferro specialist, you ensure that various metals on our site are safely and efficiently unloaded, moved, and sorted. This is usually done using a forklift, and you work together with your colleagues to ensure that the process runs smoothly.

But your role goes beyond just operating the forklift. You will become increasingly proficient in non-ferrous metals, such as copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. You will learn how to recognize, assess, and sort different metals in the correct manner.

We will train you internally at HKS to become a Non-Ferro Specialist.

What are your main tasks?

  • Working with the forklift and handling various types of metal loads, unloading and moving them;
  • Materials are weighed, sorted and checked;
  • Helping customers with loading and unloading;
  • Increasingly more types of metal are being learned to recognize and evaluate;
  • Together with your colleagues, ensure a safe and well-organized work site;
  • Progress to Non-Ferro Specialist, including a bit of inventory management.

We offer

  • Working at a close-knit family business where employees are central and we are there for each other.
  • A varied role in a team where your input is valued.
  • An internal training programme and mentorship to become a Non-Ferrous Specialist.
  • A competitive salary and excellent benefits including company fitness and bicycle plan.
  • 27 vacation days + 13 ATV days based on 40 hours per week.
  • Lots of room for personal development.

Your profile

  • You have experience operating a forklift;
  • Experience in the metal or recycling industry is a bonus, but not a requirement;
  • Knowledge of non-ferrous metals is not essential: we will teach you that internally;
  • You have a command of the Dutch language;
  • You work safely, accurately and have an eye for your surroundings;
  • You like to roll up your sleeves.
