Job Description
As the world moves towards a more responsible approach to the treatment, recycling and re-use of resources, it becomes increasingly important to manage our waste in a sustainable and innovative way. Our team are at the forefront of employing this ethos to help our customers with their waste management challenges.

With comprehensive training, you will become expert in all aspects of hazardous waste management, capable of employing these skills to provide specialist advice in this important field.
Pegasus Waste Management was established 26 years ago, based in the Bristol area providing specialist services in the field of hazardous waste, providing expert services to aerospace, education, defence and FMCG customers.
Due to increased demand from our existing customers and to assist with new enquiries, we are looking for an additional UK graduate with a strong Chemistry background to join our team based in the Bristol area.
The role involves a mixture of on-site/outdoor and office-based work, and there will be a requirement to travel and stay away within the UK on occasion. Our current projects are UK-based, but there are likely to be requirements in future to travel overseas where the infrastructure for disposal of hazardous waste is not as developed as the UK.

We welcome applications from:
· Recent graduates in Chemistry or related sciences, looking to start their career.
· Those with Chemistry experience in other fields, looking for a fresh challenge.
· Those with experience within the Hazardous and Chemical Waste Management industry, looking for a varied role in a dynamic company.
To be considered, you must have the following:
· UK University degree (BSc or equivalent) in Chemistry or Life/Earth Sciences, or in another Science-based subject would be considered, but you must have a strong pass in Chemistry at A-Level.
· A full clean UK driving licence.
· The ability to be employed in the UK.
Additionally, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate:
· A track record of high achievement and the ability to cope with challenges.
