You’ll work at the production hub of an innovative recycling company that turns used foam into new products such as carpet underlay and insulation panels. You’ll operate several machines on the production line, including a foam granulator, a mixing chamber, a discharge cylinder and a laminating machine. You’ll feed recycled foam into the machines, adjust the settings and monitor the production process. You’ll work carefully and follow established instructions to maintain the quality of the finished products. You’ll also use a forklift to make sure raw materials and semi-finished products reach the production line on time. If you don’t have a forklift certificate yet, you can get one through Luba.

During production, the foam is ground, bonded with adhesive, steamed and laminated. You’ll check that the right materials are available, make sure the machines run properly and step in when needed. You’ll work carefully and keep your workspace tidy and safe. Together with your colleagues, you’ll keep the whole process running smoothly and efficiently. Your working hours are 06:00–15:00. If you take responsibility for your work and keep things organised, we’d like to hear from you.
