Job description

IN DEMAND Recruitment & Consulting Inc. is currently looking to hire an OPERATIONS MANAGER for our client in Kitchener, ON.

We’re looking for a dynamic operations leader to take full ownership of a high-volume materials recovery facility (MRF). This role is at the heart of environmental performance and operational excellence—driving efficiency, safety, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced, industrial setting.

If you’re someone who thrives on optimizing complex operations, leading teams, and delivering measurable results, this is an opportunity to make a tangible difference every day.

What You’ll Do:

As a site leader, you will be accountable for the full scope of facility operations—balancing performance, cost control, and safety while building a high-performing team culture.

Operational Excellence

  • Oversee daily site operations including inbound/outbound logistics, sorting, and processing activities
  • Drive efficiency by reducing handling costs and improving throughput
  • Continuously improve turnaround times for inbound and outbound vehicles
  • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance productivity and reliability

Safety & Compliance

  • Champion a culture of safety, ensuring adherence to all regulatory and operational standards
  • Lead safety initiatives, meetings, and training to maintain a zero-incident mindset

Financial & Performance Management

  • Manage site-level budgets and monitor performance against forecasts and historical data
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities while maintaining operational integrity

Leadership & Team Development

  • Build, coach, and lead a strong operations team
  • Oversee hiring, training, performance management, and succession planning
  • Foster a collaborative, accountable, and results-driven work environment

Facility & Stakeholder Management

  • Ensure facility cleanliness, maintenance, and operational readiness through inspections and preventive programs
  • Serve as a key point of contact for community and external stakeholders when needed
  • Deliver clear, timely reporting and operational updates

What We’re Looking For:

Experience & Education

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • 7+ years of experience in operations, manufacturing, logistics, or industrial environments
  • Proven leadership experience managing teams in a fast-paced setting

Core Strengths

  • Strong operational and financial acumen
  • Continuous improvement mindset (Lean/efficiency-driven thinking is a plus)
  • Ability to lead through change and drive accountability
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Work Environment

  • Combination of office and active industrial facility environment
  • Hands-on leadership presence on the floor is essential

Compensation

  • Base salary range: $93, – $,
  • Performance-based bonus eligibility
  • Final offer will reflect experience, skills, and location

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High visibility leadership role with full operational ownership
  • Opportunity to drive meaningful environmental and business impact
  • Autonomy to shape processes, culture, and performance
