About Us

Join us at Cleanaway and contribute to making a sustainable future possible, together.

We transform waste into resources and renewable energy.  When you start to think of waste as a resource, it opens a world of possibilities.

As a high growth, ASX listed organisation with over 10,000 employees, our goal is to be recognised by our customers as the most innovative and sustainable waste management company with industry leading HSE performance.  We are Australia’s largest company in this sector, providing essential services to millions of customers and communities nationally.

 

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a people-focused leader to join our resource recovery facility in Coolaroo.

In this hands-on leadership role, you’ll be responsible for supporting day-to-day operations, leading a small team, ensuring effective and efficient operations while maintaining a strong safety culture.

• Monitor and control product quality
• Planning and scheduling of plant workloads
• Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders

 

About You

You are a motivated, approachable leader with a can-do attitude who thrives in a team environment. You’ll be a trusted go-to person for your team and ready to handle the tricky conversations when needed.

• Experience in a supervisory role, ideally within waste, logistics, or fixed plant operations
• Strong people leadership skills, including supporting your team and having difficult conversations
• Solid understanding of HSE and environmental legislation, and a familiarity with safety management systems, compliance, and fatigue management
• Intermediate skills in Excel and Word
• Exposure to P&L/branch financials is a plus
• Resilient, confident, and comfortable in challenging situations
• Organised and able to implement your own systems to keep operations on track
