We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to join our family. This is a pivotal role in our business and not one for the faint-hearted.

As Operations Manager you will be responsible for some of the key “moving parts” of our business:

- Depot - this is where all our sorting of recycling takes place including bailing, bin & truck washing
- Logistics - management of our drivers, the runs / routes / rosters / vehicles and more that enable us to deliver the services that our customers expect.
- Workshop - we service all our vehicles and plant & equipment; safety and preventative maintenance are vital to ensure operations have reliable vehicles that are fit for purpose

Our General Manager oversees the whole business. You will need to be passionate about developing our business to ensure we continue to deliver to our customers’ expectations in the most effective and efficient way possible.

The attributes and skills you will need to possess and be able to demonstrate are:

- People: Management of your direct reports in an effective way, understanding their needs, supporting them and help get the best out of them as they contribute in the business. You will have a sound knowledge of employment matters, be able to motivate and executive on goals and KPI’s within your team.
- Finance: understand your budgets and manage to these
- Systems/Processes: review and look to improve processes across the business. Identify constraints and develop strategies to deal with these.

- Health & Safety: This is a critical KPI in our business, we are an ISO accredited organisation and maintaining high standards are part of your day-to-day thinking.
- Strategy & Execution: We will provide you with the framework, but you must be able to analyse, develop and execute to a high level.

You will need a proven track record as an Operations Manager with a minimum of 5 years’ experience. Your skills could have been developed in privately held businesses or corporate. You will have managed an Operations team and have a strong interest / background in logistics. You thrive when you are at the coalface implementing your own strategy, and your superior understanding of Operational Excellence enables you to offer insights that significantly improve the business and positively impact outcomes.

Joining Rubbish Direct in this role will provide you with a competitive package with all the usual benefits, however, the real opportunity will be the long-term prospects that come with being a key part of our growth and development over the years to come.
- Make sure you have written a cover letter explaining why you think you are the right person for the job. Demonstrate the attributes & skills we are looking for, what makes you tick and what motivates you.
