It’s an exciting time to join Bolton Council’s Waste and Recycling Team. We have recently modernised bin collection operations for domestic properties, and we are now embarking on doing the same for our commercial waste service offer for businesses across Bolton.

As the Commercial Waste Officer, you will manage and oversee the Council’s Commercial Waste service. You will design and deliver promotional campaigns, distribute promotional material, provide quotations to potential customers, proactively manage customer relationships, supervise an operational team, promote the benefits of the council’s commercial waste service and monitor compliance with statutory regulations and contract terms and conditions, addressing non‑compliance where necessary.

Key responsibilities include ensuring that Bolton’s businesses have access to a Council‑operated recycling and waste collection service that is fit for purpose, efficient and aligns with the Bolton 2040 Vision and National Waste strategy; retaining existing customers and expanding the service across the borough; managing all aspects of income and expenditure and providing regular reports to senior management; and supporting the wider team to ensure Health and Safety underpins all operational activities.

You will be a commercially driven, customer‑focused individual with a passion for sales and increasing income. You will be committed to improving the environment for our residents and businesses. Exceptional communication skills are essential, and you should be professional, organised and meticulous, ensuring that Bolton delivers a cost‑effective, highly efficient commercial waste collection service.

We are looking for a self‑starter who can demonstrate existing people‑management skills, strong project and operational management experience, and ideally knowledge of commercial waste legislation.

We offer a generous annual leave allowance, flexible work opportunities, access to a Pension Scheme and a range of employee wellbeing and support services. Additional exclusive rewards include discounts and gym membership prices, as well as salary sacrifice schemes.

Within Greater Manchester, local authorities have made a commitment to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities, care leavers, carers and ex‑military personnel. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This post is a designated customer‑facing role under the fluency duty and requires a specified level of spoken English as per the person specification.

This organisation has signed up to the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment, recognising your continuous or ‘unbroken’ service in any Greater Manchester local authority or NHS organisation that has signed the commitment, Transport for Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service or Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which provides access to our service‑related benefits.
