Assistant General Manager, Waste

Working hours 8.00am to 4.00pm core hours (with 30min lunch break). Additionally, as-and-when required outside core hours to enable successful completion of role.

Established in 2008, this company is focussed on providing best-practice total waste management solutions to UK industry, particularly the automotive industry. Already employing over 40 staff, the company handles or processes a wide range of "waste" materials, both metal and non-metal. The company has invested in best-practice scrap processing equipment and utilises a broad network of subcontractors to maximise recycling whilst providing safe, compliant, cost-effective solutions. Initially, it focussed on supporting one specific car manufacturer but since 2010 successful business with other customers has been established. There is a very strong intention to build upon this success. (In the past 10 year the Group Company has established "Green Metals" businesses in 11 countries).
