Résumé du poste

Recycling Lives Services in Preston, Lancashire, is seeking a National Supply Chain Auditor to own supplier auditing across our national network of around 250 partners. The role combines field audits with data insight to ensure safety, compliance and continuous improvement.

You will travel nationally with overnight stays, build strong supplier relationships, and produce actionable recommendations to strengthen our supply chain.

Qualifications

• Relevant experience within waste management, recycling, environmental compliance, auditing or a similar operational environment, with a good understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements.
• Naturally inquisitive and detail-focused — someone who isn't afraid to ask questions, challenge what they see and investigate further rather than simply completing a checklist.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills, with the ability to identify trends, assess risk and turn audit findings into clear, practical recommendations.
• A confident and credible communicator who can build positive supplier relationships whilst being comfortable challenging poor practice or non-compliance where necessary.
• Self-motivated, organised and comfortable working independently, managing a national field-based schedule with regular UK travel and overnight stays.

Responsabilités

• Ensure suppliers hold appropriate environmental permits, waste carrier licences, and relevant certifications.
• Flag any instances of non-compliance with the EA, HSE, or other regulatory bodies promptly and elevate appropriately.
• Keep up to date with changes in waste management legislation and update audit criteria accordingly.
• Support the business in managing any regulatory enquiries or audits involving our supply chain.
• Provide regular reporting to Supply Chain Quality Manager on audit outcomes, supplier risk profiles, and trends across the supplier base.
• Identify patterns of underperformance or non-compliance that may represent commercial or reputational risk.
• Contribute supplier performance data to inform Supply Chain Quality Managers strategic supplier reviews and commercial negotiations.
• Maintain well-organised records suitable for internal review and external scrutiny.
• Build professional, credible working relationships with supplier contacts at an operational level.
• Communicate audit findings constructively and support suppliers in understanding and meeting compliance requirements.
• Act as a knowledgeable point of contact for day-to-day supplier compliance queries.
