General worker for Waste & Recycling

Waste and recycling department in Fredericia Municipality aims to be among the best in the field. Externally, we want to ensure a high level of service and the most sustainability for the money, while internally we want to ensure high well-being, a good working environment, and meaningful and flexible work.

We are very busy – busy with making a difference for recycling and re-use and thus for our climate and environment. We want to convert as much as possible to reuse, and that requires many good colleagues for the task.

Your tasks consist of

• Sorting of cages with recyclable items as well as sorting of clothing.
• Sorting and handling of reused furniture.
• Displaying goods in the shop.
• Cash handling and customer service in the recycling shop.
• Restocking and tidying in Frede (our free recycling area).

You will make a difference if you

• Have a positive attitude to the tasks, especially because we continually welcome interns who may have different challenges.
• Meet your colleagues with encouragement, high spirits and a yes-hat. We value our strong togetherness and high ability to cooperate.
• Are physically robust - daily life involves a lot of walking and standing work. There may be heavy lifting, but the provisions of the occupational health and safety act are naturally followed.
• Take responsibility and act independently within our shared framework. You take initiative for new tasks and are also good at asking your colleagues for help.
• Speak and understand Danish.
• Meet our customers with a smile and help when they visit our shop.

We offer

• A job in an organization where sustainability and climate are high on the agenda.
• Employment in an organization with high professional standards and a high level of ambition, while also having room for an informal and humorous tone.
• Skilled and engaged colleagues who are always ready for cooperation and sparring.
• A workplace where job satisfaction, strong fellowship and well-being are highly valued.
