Project Assistant (Permanent Part-Time)
We are a small, fun and impactful team, excited to bring an energetic and hands-on new person onboard.
About Reground
Reground is a waste education service committed to changing behaviour around waste. We believe waste is a resource. We collect ground coffee, chaff, and soft plastic from cafes, offices, retail stores, and roasteries around Melbourne. We are actively engaged in changing the systems around waste both through applied solutions and advocacy work. We have diverted over 1.25 million kilos of coffee from landfill to community and home gardeners and helped hundreds of businesses move closer to being waste-free.
This is a broad role, providing support to the Reground Project Teams, Project Managers and Directors.
This is a permanent part-time role, working four days per week (no weekend days) and based out of our Alphington site.
Initially, this role will be based on the road conducting waste-related activities in Melbourne’s inner north. This is an active, hands-on role: you will be driving and cycling (using an e-bike) around metropolitan areas, engaging with residents and solving problems. As this project wraps up, you will have the opportunity to move into other practical and impactful project work within the Reground team.
Some of the key activities will be -
Collecting unused wheelie bins and dropping off new bins
Assessing waste areas for usability and aesthetics
Visually assessing bins to gain insightful waste data
Engaging with residents
Installing additional recycling streams
Putting up new signage and floor markings
Scheduling and planning the most effective routes
Driving and cycling around metropolitan areas
Emailing stakeholders and relevant contacts
Conducting and assisting with waste audits
Entering data into workbooks
Capturing content for social media
A little extra
You don’t need to know much about waste, you’ll learn the ins and outs of this when joining, however, you do need to recognise the importance and the potential that waste plays in combating climate change and creating community and well-being.
