This isn’t just another demo job. This is a leadership position.

Who We Are:

You must:

• Track labour hours vs quoted hours.
• Track bin counts and disposal costs.
• Monitor material handling costs.

• Identify where margins were gained or lost.
• Submit finalized project P/L for review.

Your bonus is directly influenced by overall project profitability.

Communication & Reporting:

• Report site changes or scope issues immediately.
• Document site conditions with photos.
• Coordinate with dispatch for bin swaps and removals.
• Escalate issues before they become problems.

Bonus if you have:
