Lead the Charge in Keeping Operations Moving

Imagine walking into a yard where machines hum because you planned it that way. You re not just fixing equipment. You re leading the entire maintenance game plan for a growing scrap metal recycling operation. If you re the kind of leader who likes structure, thrives on organization, and gets fired up when systems run right, you might be exactly who we re looking for as our next Heavy Equipment Maintenance Manager.

At M&M Recycling, we believe that what happens behind the scenes makes everything in front of it possible. That s where you come in.

• Family-owned, no red tape:
  Your ideas matter and your decisions count.
• Real leadership:
  This isn t about reacting to breakdowns. It s about designing systems that prevent them.
• Build something from scratch:
  You ll create a parts inventory system that supports every location.
• Big toys, big challenges:
  We operate everything from shredder systems and cranes to trucks and choppers.
• Growth on the table:
  You ll work directly with operations and finance leadership to make cost-saving decisions that matter.

It s fast, it s gritty, and it s real work with real impact. You ll be on-site at our Locust Grove facility, with the occasional road trip to nearby locations. From the yard to the office, everyone s got a part to play, and yours is critical to keeping us running smoothly and safely. We value people who take initiative, lead by example, and bring consistency to high-stakes operations.
