Looking for a rewarding leadership role where you can make a real difference to recycling and sustainability in Northumberland? Join us as Senior Site Manager and take overall responsibility for the smooth, safe, and efficient running of Berwick Transfer Station and Household Waste Recycling Centre, while also supporting Morpeth HWRC.
At SUEZ, we act for what truly matters — for the environment, for society, and for the future. This is the place for people who want to make a real impact, not just watch from the sidelines. Join us and help drive positive change through innovative solutions that build a more resilient and sustainable world.
What you'll be doing
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll lead operations across our key Northumberland sites:
1. Manage efficient deployment of staff and resources, promote recycling initiatives, and maximise diversion from landfill.
2. Work collaboratively with the Northumberland PFi team to deliver excellent customer service and exceed performance standards.
3. Support the running of additional sites as needed while fostering a positive, motivated team culture.
We value work-life balance and can offer some flexibility on core hours (e.g., to support school runs or caring responsibilities).
What we're looking for
4. Proven management or supervisory experience in a similar operational environment (essential).
5. COTC Level 4 in Hazardous Waste (Transfer) and Treatment Operations (both required; we can support you in achieving these with resources provided).
6. IOSH Managing Safely qualification.
7. Willingness to undertake additional training (e.g. first aid or further health & safety qualifications).

At SUEZ, your career is a journey full of possibilities. With diverse roles across multiple activities and locations, we empower you to shape your own path. Here, you’re encouraged to learn, grow, and take ownership of your development — because when you thrive, we all succeed.
