Job Description

In this role you will take full ownership of the day-to-day operations of our Test Centre, ensuring efficient testing, optimisation, and continuous improvement of our waste sorting processes and technology. This is not a desk job—we need someone who thrives on being hands-on, constantly problem-solving, and refining technical processes in a dynamic, real-world environment. This role is perfect for someone with a strong technical background, an analytical mindset, and a passion for continuous improvement. You will work closely with the Product and Performance teams, calibrating vision systems, optimising sorting recipes, and managing waste sample logistics, all while developing innovative methodologies to enhance material recognition and classification. This role is 100% on-site and requires physical activity including handling waste samples, testing machinery, and working on industrial equipment.

Job Responsibility

  • Oversee all daily operations of the test centre, ensuring smooth execution of controlled waste sorting tests.
  • Develop and implement structured processes for testing, ensuring all procedures are well-documented and repeatable.
  • Manage scheduling, logistics, and coordination of test centre resources, including waste material handling, customer visits, and internal team requirements.
  • Ensure cleanliness, organisation, and safety standards are maintained within the test centre.
  • Conduct sorting tests, refining ejection classifications, material recognition, and sorting parameters.
  • Calibrate vision parameters and optical systems, optimising camera settings and AI-driven classification accuracy.
  • Optimise ejection parameters to enhance sorting efficiency across various waste streams.
  • Troubleshoot and maintain testing equipment, ensuring all machinery is in peak operational condition.
  • Manage and store waste samples, ensuring proper labeling, organisation, and traceability.
  • Analyse test results, create detailed reports, and communicate findings with customers and internal teams.
  • Constantly experiment with different configurations to refine sorting performance.
  • Stay curious and innovative, always looking for ways to improve processes and test methodologies.
  • Explore new technologies, techniques, and improvements in waste sorting methodologies.
  • Deploy models, optimise and analyse their performance.
  • Scanning and collecting data on various material streams to complement our data sets.
  • Perform sampling and acceptance testing to validate model performance is up to contractual standard.

Requirements

  • Significant technical experience/training
  • Strong hands-on experience with hardware, industrial machinery, or automation systems
  • Experience with system testing, troubleshooting, and calibration
  • Ability to interpret test data and optimise system performance
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently
  • Curious, experimental, and always willing to try new things to improve processes
  • Analytical thinker who enjoys making data-driven decisions
  • Comfortable balancing technical precision with hands-on problem-solving
  • A builder—someone who likes to create, refine, and optimise processes
  • Not afraid to get their hands dirty and be in the action rather than behind a desk on a computer
  • Willing to travel 25-50% of your time to support our AI-driven products to be at their best for our clients

Nice to have

  • Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related field)
  • Exposure to waste management technology or industrial automation.
  • Experience in a high-growth startup and in scaling team and processes according to business needs
