Newman Stewart is seeking a Site Manager for a large-scale waste processing facility in the South of England. You will be responsible for safe, efficient, and compliant operation while delivering performance targets across maintenance, health and safety, and site standards.
Leading a team of Supervisors and operational personnel, you will establish routines, drive productivity, and improve asset reliability.
Our client is a growing business operating within the waste management and recycling sector, providing services to customers across construction, infrastructure and industrial markets. Through continued investment in its operations, infrastructure and people, the organisation is focused on improving resource efficiency, increasing material recovery and supporting its ongoing growth and development.
The Site Manager will take responsibility for the safe, efficient and compliant operation of a large-scale waste processing facility, with accountability for operational performance, health and safety, environmental compliance, maintenance and site standards. Leading through a team of Supervisors and operational personnel, the role will ensure effective control of day-to-day activity and consistent performance across the site.
A key focus will be establishing clear operating routines and disciplined ways of working whilst maintaining a strong focus on productivity, plant availability and asset reliability. The Site Manager will oversee preventative maintenance programmes and ensure equipment and site infrastructure are operated and maintained to a high standard. Working closely with engineering and operational functions, the role will also identify opportunities to improve efficiency, organisation, housekeeping and overall site performance.
The successful candidate will bring experience gained within manufacturing, processing, recycling, logistics or another industrial environment. Waste sector experience may be advantageous but is not essential. More important is the ability to introduce structure, maintain high standards and create a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement across a busy operational site.
