* Recycling and resource management is a fast changing dynamic and competitive industry sector.
* This is a high profile position with management of a prestigious and complex I&C Key Account contract as the central focus, whilst also being responsible for the commercial delivery of the contract.
* The client operates locations nationally and you will be responsible for the waste and recycling services across the estate using a network of SUEZ and subcontracted services.

As a consequence, demonstrable experience of effective leadership, team building, coaching and engagement skills are essential for success in this role.
