View the Job Profile
South Lanarkshire's Waste Services has undergone significant changes in recent years. We now divert most residual waste from landfill, increase recycling at the kerbside, and focus on ensuring material quality for reprocessors. Despite these advancements, continuous evolution is necessary to meet legislative and environmental targets. These challenging yet exciting times offer an excellent opportunity for a professional to join our operations team on a temporary basis.
The successful candidate will organize and oversee front-line refuse collection staff across South Lanarkshire, ensuring all programmed work is completed on time and within budget, while meeting service and resource objectives.
You will also manage the rollout of specialist projects, contribute to service planning, oversee performance data collection, and provide professional input both internally and externally. A proactive approach to problem-solving and service improvement, involving others in developing solutions, is essential.
Applicants should have comprehensive experience in waste management or environmental compliance, excellent communication skills for report preparation and presentation, and a good understanding of waste legislation, policies, and health and safety. A NEBOSH qualification is desirable but not essential. A full driving license is also desirable but not mandatory.
Please Apply online. All correspondence will be via email.

Applicants should be prepared to disclose employment gaps and provide a foreign police check if applicable for periods abroad.
