SalaryAbout the role
As a result of rapid growth, we have an exciting opportunity to join our high performing Recycling & Waste
Operations and Projects team assisting in the delivery of our largest service, and one that affects every
household in our district every week.
You will be responsible for collating, monitoring and analysing waste management data and service
contracts and you will work collaboratively with our partner contractor, households and other stakeholders
to ensure the most effective and efficient waste management provisions, driving high recycling rates and
levels of compliance across the district. On a typically busy day you could be resolving operational
problems on site, dealing with customer enquiries or taking the lead on an improvement project; and
whilst based out of our headquarters in Honiton, you will also be working from home, making site visits to
our contractor and travelling around the district to monitor compliance on the ground - at times you will
need to be hands on and prepared to handle waste materials.
Adaptability is key to deal with the challenges of delivering a fast moving and essential service which is
customer focussed.
About you
You must have a HNC level qualification in an environmental discipline and formal project management
training or equivalent experience. A Health and Safety qualification would be a distinct advantage. You
must also be adept at building positive working and customer relations with a variety of stakeholders and
have excellent report writing, IT, data management and organisational skills. Practical experience in a
recycling and waste operation undertaking similar work and/or a capacity for innovation will set you apart
from other candidates.
If you have an interest in the environment and enjoy working to deliver a large scale customer focussed
logistical service and a passion for continuous improvement (self and operational) we are interested in
you.
