Butts County is on the hunt for a new Solid Waste Supervisor, a role that is key in managing the nitty-gritty of waste collection and disposal, as reported by their Public Works Department. This position isn't for the faint of heart; it calls for a leader prepared to take the reins of operations across all county solid waste collection sites, keeping an ever-watchful eye on environmental compliance and the smooth functioning of this essential public service.
The responsibilities are manifold for this supervisor, which include the management of site attendants, ensuring all waste is disposed of in accordance with state laws and local ordinances, and staying on top of the mechanical health of compactors and containers it is a balancing act of schedules, safety, and community interaction that demands both resolve and a meticulous organizational approach. Butts County describes the role as critical for supervising and scheduling solid waste site attendants and maintaining accurate records like waste tonnage and incident reports.
A qualified candidate needs a minimum of a high school diploma or GED but would stand out with an associate degree or technical certification. To drive the point home, no slouch in experience will suffice; this job calls for someone with at least three years in the realm of solid waste operations or a related field, and if they've got at least one year steering the ship, even better. They also should have a valid Georgia driver’s license—a CDL will give them the edge—or the ability to score one within six months.
Sharpen those pencils and polish those resumes, potential applicants, because the position, as stated by Butts County, also demands a certain finesse with basic computer skills including Microsoft Word, Excel, and IWORQ or similar systems, plus a savvy for handling the lighter side of equipment duties and executing site inspections. Employment, however, is contingent on passing a criminal background check and drug screening, so clean records are a must.
