Be part of a dynamic team that makes a difference.

At East Suffolk Services, we proudly deliver a wide range of essential local services that support the lives of over a quarter of a million residents and thousands of businesses across our district.

We’re a new, growing organisation; full of energy, ambition, and purpose. As part of our team, you’ll play an important role in helping us shape high-quality, efficient services that people rely on every single day.

This is more than just a job. This is a fantastic opportunity to support, and give back to, your local community.

We currently have an opportunity to join our Trade Waste team as a Commercial Manager.

Your role

Alongside the wider waste management team, you will lead and develop the Trade Waste team to deliver safe, compliant, customer-focused and commercially successful waste and recycling services. You will be responsible for ensuring services are delivered efficiently, in line with relevant legislation, industry best practice and agreed service standards, while maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction and business growth.

You will oversee the effective development of staff, vehicles and operational resources, ensuring service demands and contractual obligations are met. You will manage customer enquiries and complaints, build positive relationships with customers and stakeholders, and support improvements to service delivery and efficiency.

People management will be a key part of the role, including leading recruitment, inductions, training, performance management and employee development. You will support and motivate the team to deliver excellent customer service and drive continuous improvement.

What you will need

You will ideally have previous experience working within the waste, recycling or environmental services sector, along with experience in a commercial or operational management role. You will have a good understanding of relevant environmental and health and safety legislation, as well as budgeting and financial management.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as well as the ability to lead, support and motivate a team. You will be organised, able to work well under pressure, and committed to delivering high-quality services for customers.

We understand that the backbone of any company’s success will always be its people and that our continued success depends on recognising talented individuals, supporting their development, and retaining them within our organisation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
