Contracts Manager - East Sussex

Changing the way people think about waste

At Biffa, we love working with waste. Whether we're turning it into sustainable power, finding new ways to recycle it or simply keeping it off the streets, we believe every day is an opportunity to improve the lives of millions. It's a view that's shared by our 11,000+ people around the country, who trust us to provide them with a career that's always rewarding, often challenging, but never dull. And it's why we're the UK's No. 1 choice for business waste management

Help us make a difference as a Contracts Manager.

A quick look at the role

We're on the hunt for a Manager to ensure the operation of the staff and resources employed on the Contract is fulfilled to the satisfaction of both the Client and the Company whilst remaining within the constraints of financial targets and Company procedures. Ensuring health and safety, environmental and operator licence compliance won't simply be your bread and butter, it needs to be your passion. Along with delivering first-class customer service and cultivating an environment where continuous improvement is the norm, not the exception.

The Biffa division you'll be supporting

Biffa's household waste division delivers a range of cost-efficient, quality-led waste management services for 31 local authorities across the UK. With over 3,300 staff and around 1,562 specialist vehicles, our domestic waste management division makes 4.3 million collections each week from over 2.3 million households across Britain.

Why it's an opportunity not to be wasted

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.

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.

Competitive salary and car allowance.

Performance Bonus Scheme.

Ongoing career development, training and coaching - because if you don't grow, we don't grow.

Generous pension scheme.

Medical and dental scheme.
