About the role
Local authority waste services are commencing a period of major transformation as the government develops legislation to deliver a new Resources and Waste Strategy; at the same time as legislative changes are requiring amendments to the technical solutions procured under the existing Waste Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract to meet the BATc (Best Available Techniques conclusions) amendments to the waste permits issued by the Environment Agency; all of which feeds into the delivery of our waste services.
The Waste Services Manager is accountable to the Head of Service Waste Management, for providing the professional leadership and technical waste expertise to deliver the effective implementation of the County Council’s Commissioning of Waste Services so that they are delivered to the highest standards, in line with relevant legislation and the Waste PFI contract.
The role is in place to lead and manage the Waste service contracts, including the Closed Landfill assets, to ensure maximum use of limited resources and value for money, whilst fulfilling the specialist role of Performance and Compliance Manager in the Waste PFI contract management team.
Work collaboratively with partners and other stakeholders at a senior level to provide the direction and strategic management of the waste services as a fundamental support to the Head of Service in order to deliver the Council and Directorate’s objectives, whilst also representing the County Council at a local, national and regional scale.
Delivery of waste services to both revenue and capital budgets, with control and management responsibilities for their spend.
