Director - Waste Operations Full-Time Permanent

ACT NoWaste delivers the ACT Government’s recycling and waste management program, and is a unique organisation in Australia: we deliver both state/territory and local government functions. We are a diverse, innovative and professional team from a wide variety of backgrounds. We welcome people with experience from the community, public and private sectors and believe the more diverse our knowledge base is, the better our results will be.

We are seeking a Director to manage our new Waste Operations team, which includes the ongoing operation of the weighbridge teams at ACT Resource Management Centres as well as our call centre operations. These teams provide crucial customer support services to assist residents and businesses in using ACT waste facilities and manage requests related to bins and bin collections.

The weighbridge team is currently outsourced to a service provider. This position will lead the transition and ongoing leadership of the weighbridge team into the ACT Public Service, including ensuring training, development and rostering of the new team members as well developing and delivering the appropriate frameworks to ensure a successful transition.

We value people with innovative and creative ideas, who communicate with candour and respect, and who have the motivation to drive projects from conception through to delivery. We are curious about each other’s work and always ask “who else needs to know?”
