Operations Supervisor II
Job Description
At GFL Environmental (Green For Life), we aren’t just a waste management company—we are environmental champions. We are the bright green trucks you see saving the day, keeping communities clean, and driving sustainable solutions forward.
We are looking for an Operations Supervisor II who is ready to take the wheel (figuratively and sometimes literally) of our local logistics and lead a stellar team of drivers and route heroes. If you’re a natural leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves solving the ultimate daily puzzle of routing, and wants a career that leaves a positive impact, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Mission
As an Operations Supervisor II, you are the heartbeat of our daily branch operations. You aren’t stuck in a cubicle all day. Instead, you'll be on the move—coaching your team, optimizing routes, ensuring world-class safety, and keeping our operations running like a finely-tuned machine. You will step up to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and boots-on-the-ground execution.
Your Daily Adventure
Lead the Hype: Conduct energetic morning kick-off meetings (toolbox talks) to get the team pumped, focused, and aligned on safety before they hit the road.
Master of Logistics: Oversee daily routing and dispatch operations. You'll play real-life Tetris with schedules and routes to maximize efficiency and keep our customers smiling.
Safety First, Always: Champion our "Safety for Life" culture. Conduct regular safety audits, field observations, and incident investigations. You make sure everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.
Coach & Mentor: Train, evaluate, and mentor your team of drivers and helpers. You’ll help them grow, troubleshoot field issues, and maintain high morale.
Customer Heroics: Jump in to resolve customer inquiries or service issues with professionalism and a problem-solving attitude.
Data-Driven Decisions: Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), track labor hours, and manage operational costs to keep the branch hitting its targets.
Your Superpowers
The Experience: You have 3+ years of supervisory experience in logistics, transportation, waste management, or route-based operations.
The License (Asset): A valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is a huge plus, or the willingness to obtain one so you can truly understand your team's day-to-day.
Safety Mindset: Deep knowledge of DOT regulations, OSHA compliance, and safe driving practices.
Cool Under Pressure: You can think on your feet when plans change (because traffic, weather, and life happen).
Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with fleet management software, GPS tracking, and the Microsoft Office suite.
People Person: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to motivate a diverse, hardworking team.
The Perks of Being Green
Competitive Compensation: Great base salary plus performance-based incentives.
Growth Potential: GFL is growing fast. We love to promote from within and will invest in your career development.
Robust Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, plus a retirement savings match.
Paid Time Off: Generous PTO and paid holidays to keep you refreshed.
The Vibe: A supportive, down-to-earth culture where your hard work is noticed and celebrated.
