Operations Manager

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Operations Manager to take full leadership of a busy and growing energy and resource recovery business. This is a key site leadership role, responsible for driving performance, safety, and compliance across all operations.

Reporting to the Plant Manager, you’ll oversee day-to-day site activities, leading operational and maintenance teams to maximise throughput, efficiency, and recovery rates. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping site culture, improving processes, and ensuring the facility consistently meets environmental and commercial targets.

Key Responsibilities of the Operations Manager include:

  * Lead, motivate and develop site teams across operations, drivers and maintenance, embedding a strong safety-first and high-performance culture

  * Take ownership of performance, driving throughput, quality of output, and operational efficiency against clearly defined KPIs

  * Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety, environmental permits and waste regulations, acting as the responsible site lead when required

  * Coordinate closely with maintenance to maximise plant availability, reduce downtime, and deliver continuous improvement across equipment and processes

  * Manage site budgets, reporting and performance metrics, identifying opportunities to improve cost control and operational output

What you’ll need:

  * Proven leadership experience within a waste, recycling or wider process/industrial environment

  * Strong understanding of materials handling, separation processes, or continuous plant operations

  * Experience managing site performance, budgets, and regulatory compliance in a safety-critical environment

  * Engineering or technical background (mechanical, electrical or process) with IOSH or NEBOSH preferred

  * A hands-on, visible leadership style with the ability to drive engagement and accountability across teams

What’s on Offer:

  * Competitive salary circa £65,000 depending on experience

  * Opportunity to take full ownership of a critical site within a growing, sustainability-focused business

  * A leadership role with real influence over site performance, culture and continuous improvement

  * Supportive environment with a strong focus on safety, development and long-term progression

If you’re an experienced operations leader looking to take full ownership of a site and play a key role in driving performance within a fast-paced recycling environment, this is an excellent opportunity to step into a high-impact position
