Site Manager CCR Landfill Operations

A great place to work.

$145,000 - $165,000 + relocation assistance

A major utility is closing coal ash ponds near Milledgeville, Georgia by moving the ash into a new lined landfill on the same property. This position entails operating the landfill: receiving the ash, placing and compacting it, and running the liner, leachate and stormwater systems underneath it.

• The whole operation. Roughly 39 people, a rented fleet of 30-plus machines, two working faces running at once, and about 300 truckloads a day coming in.
• The cell phasing and stack progression - the decisions that determine how much leachate the site generates and how much of the schedule you keep.
• The relationship with the owner: progress reporting, change orders, requests for information, and schedule updates.
• Coordination with the other contractors on site, including the crew excavating the ponds and the owner's quality assurance consultant.
• Budget and production: cost per cubic yard placed, equipment utilization, monthly forecast.
• A supervision team of four - superintendent, quality manager, safety manager, project administrator.

• 10+ years in heavy civil, landfill or coal ash work, with at least 5 as a project or site manager on something of comparable size.
• Direct experience operating or closing a lined landfill or CCR unit. Coal ash experience counts for more here than municipal solid waste.
• You've managed 35 or more people, including salaried supervision.
• OSHA 30, and either a SWANA Manager of Landfill Operations certification or the willingness to get one in your first 90 days.
• Comfort with owner-side reporting systems. We use Oracle Unifier on this job.
• You're on the working face regularly, not only in the trailer. This role covers for the superintendent when he's pulled elsewhere.

• Previous work on a large utility or power generation site.
• Familiarity with state coal ash permitting and the federal CCR rule.
• A civil engineering or construction management degree - though field experience carries equal weight with us.

• $145,000 - $165,000 depending on experience.
• Relocation assistance.
• Medical, dental and vision; 401(k) with company match; paid time off and holidays.
• Company vehicle and fuel.
• A defined 2-3 year project on a single site, 15 minutes from Milledgeville and about 35 from Macon.
