Changing the way people think about waste
At Biffa, we love working with waste.

Why it's an opportunity not to be wasted

Ensure all budgets are achieved and weekly Key Performance Indicators are met highlighting any variances and action plans to redress.
Play an integral role in the development of drivers and staff, creating an environment where everyone can excel.
An opportunity to monitor, manage and co-ordinate all depot-based resources to ensure an increase in operational productivity and service standards.
Set and agree clear objectives with all operational staff, regularly monitoring their performance and taking corrective action where appropriate.
An opportunity to push yourself to meet key targets, shape new practices and define the strategy of the depot.
A chance to join a forward-thinking, industry leader that openly welcomes self-driven individuals who are unafraid to question convention.
Management of service changes and subsequent smooth running of the Contract to the Client's satisfaction.
Support internal and external reporting of contract KPIs such as performance, monthly financial reports, weekly KPIs etc.

The ability to work within a commercially driven and time-critical environment.
Experience of people and health and safety management within a unionised and multi-shift environment.

Proven track record of delivering continuous improvement within an operational environment.
The ability to communicate with conviction, plan with precision and, most importantly, play well with others.
Minimum GCSE (or equivalent) in English and Maths, however A-Levels or a Degree certainly won't do any harm.
And here's why you'll love it at Biffa
Competitive salary and car allowance.

Ongoing career development, training and coaching - because if you don't grow, we don't grow.
Generous pension scheme.
Medical and dental scheme.
