If you are looking for an exciting opportunity to work as part of a small team in a new and innovative division of an International business, then this role could be your next move.

My client has recently set up an operation to buy and manage the reprocessing of catalytic converters which are being extracted from “end of life” vehicles. The market for this business is expanding as it has only been law that all vehicles in the UK are fitted with converters since the early 1990’s. The precious metals contained within these scrap catalytic converters make then a highly valuable commodity and therefore present a fantastic opportunity to build a business recycling them. Joining the team now presents an excellent chance to play a key role from the start.

Working out of the Newmarket depotFro you will from day one shadow the Catalytic Converter Manager in order to learn all aspects of the business. Buying from existing suppliers, canvassing for new suppliers, grading and handling deliveries as well as general office administration will all be part of the role. The grading of converters is a physical job and involves manual handling so a ‘hands on’ approach is essential.

My client would like to hear from you if you have the personality to become a Trainee Manager / Assistant Buyer and have a positive ‘can do’ attitude. Flexibility, a sense of humour, good IT skills and a clean driving license are all essential qualities for anyone joining this team.
You might also have some commercial experience in a client facing role with perhaps a technical background. An interest in the automotive environment would be helpful but not essential, but good communication skills and smart personal presentation are a “must”. Whilst some form of qualifications would benefit you, demonstrating that you can learn quickly and are prepared to work long hours whilst the operation is set up are much more important.

If you feel you are right for this role and would like to join a UK industry leader with the opportunity to be an integral part of a new, growing business then we want to hear from you NOW!
