Averda, a leading waste management provider, has announced the launch of a recruitment drive for up to 1,000 employees in Bahrain.

The initiative is in advance of the start of the company’s contract from July for a five-year agreement to supply waste management services for Muharraq and Manama, which was signed with the Ministry of Works, Municipalities and Urban Planning in December 2015.

Averda launches its search for the Bahrain workforce today with the first of several recruiting days for management and supervisory roles commencing the week of April 10.   The roles cover a wide range of activities, including warehouse, human resources, procurement, accounting, technical and operations.

The company will be posting roles for application on its LinkedIn page (linkedin.com/company/Averda) in the next two weeks, according to a statement.

Successful applicants will be invited for appraisal at Averda’s own specialist assessment centre, which is currently being set up in Manama.  In addition, Averda will also be recruiting locally for drivers, administrators, mechanics and manual labourers.

Averda’s marketing director, Philippa Charlton said: “As a company we have always championed local employment and in line with this approach, we will particularly welcome applications from Bahraini nationals for these roles.”

“We are also keen to give priority to employees of the current waste provider.  We take great pride in our work and want to make sure that Muharraq and Manama receive the highest quality waste management services.

“Part of that is ensuring that we have employees who have the right skill-sets and are committed to the community.  This is a very exciting contract for Averda and we are very much looking forward to taking this forward to benefit the people of Bahrain,” Charlton added. – TradeArabia News Service
