We are looking for an Operations Manager to oversee the Waste Disposal service and management of depots. We're looking for someone who is an inspiring professional, experienced, highly motivated, creative, and adaptable to change.
You will be responsible for leading and motivating a frontline workforce delivering waste disposal services in Edinburgh. The salary package is enhanced by a minimum of 32 days leave per year rising to a maximum of 40 days per year dependant on continuous service, generous employer pension contributions and numerous employee benefits, such as Green Car scheme, Cycle to work, Lifestyle savings and Gym membership.
The Disposal service is responsible for the operation of 3 Household Waste Recycling Centres and 2 Waste Transfer Stations, as well as for infrastructure improvements at waste depots. You'll have a key role in embedding new ways of working and engaging constructively with frontline employees and Trade Union colleagues. Are you experienced in ensuring that priorities are delivered, policies are followed, standards are set and maintained in a challenging financial environment? The successful applicant will lead and develop Waste Disposal services by supporting the Management team and leading the frontline supervisors in the development of the service.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
