About the role

We're hiring an experienced and motivated Department Lead to help run and scale Take My HazWaste (TMHW)—our fast-growing hazardous waste pickup and compliance division. This role combines hands-on operational management, compliance leadership, and a growing focus on service expansion and sales support.

You'll be a key player in turning strategy into execution—leading day-to-day operations, ensuring compliance across the board, and working directly with the business development team to help identify, price, and support new opportunities.

If you’re someone who thrives in the field but also has an eye for growth, relationship-building, and long-term planning, this is your chance to shape the future of hazardous waste services across BC.

Key Responsibilities:

Compliance & Field Operations:

  • Manage daily execution of TMHW pickups, manifests, and transport logistics.
  • Conduct site assessments, confirm waste classification, labeling, and PPE requirements.
  • Ensure strict compliance with TDG, WHMIS, SDS, and BC hazwaste regulations.
  • Train and lead field crews, conduct spot-checks, and uphold quality standards.
  • Maintain reporting systems for manifests, jobs, and compliance audits.

Team & Process Leadership:

  • Build SOPs, training systems, and internal checklists for safety and efficiency.
  • Identify inefficiencies in routing, staffing, or documentation—and propose solutions.
  • Help maintain internal dashboards and operational KPIs.

Sales & Business Enablement:

  • Collaborate with sales team to scope, price, and operationalize new jobs.
  • Support client walkthroughs and site visits as a technical lead.
  • Identify recurring service opportunities at depots, commercial sites, and institutions.
  • Offer feedback to improve estimate accuracy, service packages, and client satisfaction.
  • Help translate field insights into scalable business models.

What You Bring:

  • 5+ years in hazardous waste, waste logistics, or environmental field services.
  • Strong command of TDG, WHMIS, SDS, and field safety practices.
  • Comfortable managing crew in the field and advising clients with confidence.
  • Experience supporting or closing sales—either through technical guidance or pricing support.
  • Class 5 license required: Class 3 or Air Brake endorsement a plus.
  • Bonus if you hold environmental compliance or hazmat certifications.

Why This Role Matters:

TMHW isn’t just another waste service—we’re building a platform that connects depots, government programs, and commercial clients with safe, scalable solutions. As Department Lead, you won’t just manage operations—you’ll help shape how we grow, who we serve, and how we deliver real impact.

Compensation:

  • Competitive salary or hourly wage based on experience.
  • Performance-based bonuses tied to operations and business growth.
  • Clear path to grow into a senior or regional role as the division expands.
