Full job description

WHAT IS ON OFFER

Alfred H Knight has an exciting opportunity for a Sampling & Preparation Operative to join our team at our Dundonald (Olympic Park) site.

This isn't your typical 9-to-5 desk job. If you enjoy being out on the road, working at different locations, and being part of a team that keeps the energy industry moving, this is the role for you.

THE ROLE: WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

We need someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves. Your "office" will often be Ports, Waste Facilities, and Power Stations.

  • On the Road: You will travel regularly across the UK for sampling and collection. This involves driving company vehicles (up to 3.5-tonne vans) to client sites. Whether you’re working at our base location or away, you’ll be part of a tight-knit team that encompasses our core values: Expertise, Ambition, Collaboration and Trust.
  • The Schedule: This role works on a shift pattern and requires considerable working away on a rotational basis. Because the industry moves fast, travel can sometimes be required at the last minute.
  • The Hands-on Work: You’ll be collecting, sampling and sorting of all fuel streams such as Coal, Waste and Biomass
  • Precision: You’ll prepare these samples for the lab, ensuring everything is recorded accurately and safely.
  • The Environment: You’ll be working outdoors in various weather conditions and industrial settings, following clear safety procedures to keep yourself and the team safe.

ABOUT US

Alfred H Knight is a totally independent, family owned business spanning five generations. A global network of strategically placed offices and laboratories enable global trade by providing independent inspection, analysis and consultancy services to the metals and minerals, solid fuels and agriculture industries.

We have honed and carefully crafted our reputation. Delivering knowledge and professionalism in all aspects of weighing, sampling and analysis. We thrive by continuing to re-invest in our facilities, technology and people. Click here to find out more about AHK.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

To be successful at Alfred H Knight you will need to display the following:

We are looking for someone reliable who can adapt to changing priorities. You don’t need a science degree—we value a "can-do" attitude and a strong work ethic above all else.



REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND WORK EXPERIENCE

Essential:

  • A Full UK Driving Licence
  • Reliability: You are comfortable with regular travel and working away from home on rotation.
  • Team Spirit: You’re a team player who works well with others and shows respect to everyone you meet on-site.
  • Communication: Good enough numeracy and IT skills to log your data accurately (we use Microsoft and Google apps).
  • Integrity: You are open, honest, and take pride in doing a job properly.

Desirable Experience:

  • We’d love to see experience in industrial, waste, or port sectors, but it isn't a dealbreaker.
  • Previous experience in inspection or sample preparation is a plus, but we provide the training you need to succeed

BENEFITS

We are offering an excellent opportunity with a salary and benefits package to match.

If you are invited to interview, please let us know if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make to the recruitment process that will enable you to perform to the best of your ability.

Alfred H Knight is committed to creating a diverse & inclusive environment and hence welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
