Help Turn Waste into Opportunity

At VEKA, sustainability is more than a goal. It is part of how we manufacture innovative products every day. As a Plastic Recycling Operator, you will play a direct role in our recycling process by transforming PVC material into valuable recycled material used in VEKA's Outdoor Living Products (OLP).

  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Why This Role Matters

What We're Looking For

  • Mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn.
  • Self-motivated and ability to work independently.
  • Commitment to safety and quality.

Qualifications

  • Forklift certification preferred (training available for qualified candidates) to move material into and from the recycling area, but not necessary to apply for this job opportunity
