Changing the way people think about waste.

At Biffa, we love working with waste.

A quick look at the role.

Our Crawley Contract is looking for a Business 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
