Posted by McCarthy Recruitment
£35,000 – £40,000 a year
Warrington · Permanent
Location: North West
Salary: up to £40,000 + company vehicle
Role: Permanent – Full time
Overview
We're recruiting for a Mobile Technically Competent Manager (TCM) on behalf of a growing and highly respected waste management business.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced waste, landfill, quarry or recycling professional looking to take the next step in their career. Rather than being tied to the day-to-day demands of running a single site, you'll work across a portfolio of operations, providing technical oversight, compliance support and TCM cover wherever it is required.
The role offers a unique opportunity to utilise your technical competence and industry knowledge in a more strategic, advisory capacity whilst remaining close to site operations. You'll work closely with site management teams, supporting operational excellence, regulatory compliance and best practice across multiple locations.
This position will involve regular travel across sites throughout the Midlands, North West, Yorkshire and Scotland, therefore applicants should ideally be based within easy reach of the motorway network between Birmingham and Leeds, with the North West particularly desirable.
The Ideal Candidate
· Level 4 WAMITAB Qualification (Non-Hazardous Waste Treatment, Transfer or Landfill) is essential
· Previous experience operating as a Technical Competent Manager or Deputy TCM
· Background within waste management, landfill, quarrying, recycling, aggregates, minerals, or related sectors
· Strong understanding of Environmental Permits, EMS requirements and regulatory compliance
· Comfortable working independently and managing priorities across multiple sites
· Strong communication skills with the ability to influence, coach and support operational teams
· Organised and methodical approach to documentation, auditing and compliance
· Full UK Driving Licence
· Willingness to travel nationally with occasional overnight stays
Key Responsibilities
· Provide Technical Competent Manager coverage across a portfolio of permitted sites
· Support site teams in achieving and maintaining full permit compliance
· Conduct site inspections, audits and compliance reviews
· Ensure operations are conducted in accordance with Environmental Permits, management systems and regulatory requirements
· Coach and support site management teams on waste acceptance, record keeping and operational standards
· Assist with incident investigations, corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives
· Review operational procedures and identify opportunities to improve compliance and efficiency
· Support site managers during Environment Agency inspections and regulatory interactions
· Maintain accurate TCM records and evidence of competence
· Promote a positive health, safety and environmental culture throughout the business
Why Join?
· Step away from the pressures of managing a single site whilst remaining actively involved in operations
· Exposure to a diverse portfolio of waste, landfill and quarry sites
· Significant autonomy and flexibility in how you manage your workload
· Join a growing business with ambitious plans and long-term career prospects
· Opportunity to become a key technical specialist within the organisation
· Company vehicle or car allowance
· Expenses covered for business travel
Who This Role Would Suit
You may currently be working as a:
· Site Manager
· Landfill Manager
· Quarry Manager
· Recycling Facility Manager
· Assistant Site Manager
· Operations Manager
· Existing TCM
and looking for a role that allows you to utilise your industry knowledge and qualifications whilst moving away from direct responsibility for the day-to-day running of a single operation.
If you're an experienced waste or quarry professional with a Level 4 WAMITAB qualification and are looking for a varied, field-based role with genuine autonomy and career development opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
