• Lead, mentor, and develop a workforce of around 40–50 employees.
• Promote a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with all HSEQ standards.
• Support workforce planning and industrial relations, including enterprise agreements.
• Build and maintain partnerships with local councils, government agencies, and industry stakeholders.
• Represent REMONDIS in joint ventures and industry forums.
• Lead sustainability initiatives that enhance resource recovery, reduce landfill, and drive circular economy outcomes.

About You

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in waste management, recycling, construction, quarrying, or mining.
• Proven success managing multi-site operations and large, hands-on teams.
• Strong financial management and P&L accountability experience.
• A safety-first leader who builds engaged, high-performing teams.
• Excellent communicator and relationship builder.
