About the role

From Michael Page, we are selecting a Waste Management Manager for a major company in the rapidly growing energy sector.

  • Key role in an industrial biomethane project
  • Focus on waste logistics, cost and margin optimization

What you'll do

As the Waste Management and Logistics Manager, you will play a key role in the integrated waste management of a portfolio of biomethane and composting plants, ensuring operational and economic efficiency of the supply chain.

Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Designing and optimizing waste collection and transport routes, coordinating inter-plant flows based on capacities, types, and costs.
  • Reducing logistics costs (transport, storage, and time) and implementing KPIs and monitoring systems.
  • Negotiating and managing relationships with transporters and logistics operators.
  • Analyzing and defining waste procurement pricing strategies, negotiating with major producers and intermediate managers.
  • Monitoring margins per plant and per waste type, adjusting prices according to market, capacity, and demand.
  • Identifying new waste streams and business opportunities related to the circular economy and valorization.
  • Coordinating cross-functionally with plant, technical, financial, and legal teams.
  • Supporting investment decisions related to new plants, expansions, or operational improvements.

What you'll get

  • Competitive fixed salary + variable bonus.
  • Health insurance.
  • 24 vacation days.
  • Solid project with real impact and medium-to-long-term growth potential.
  • High level of autonomy and direct exposure to the business.
  • Dynamic, growing environment with the possibility to evolve the role and build a team in the future.

About the company & team

You will join a company specialized in the development, construction, and operation of biomethane plants, with active projects in Spain and Portugal.
The position is based in Murcia (where the first projects and part of the team are located), with regular collaboration with other teams across the peninsula and frequent travel to plants and partners.

Who are we looking for (M/F/D)?

  • 7-10 years of experience in sectors such as biomethane/biogas, waste management, energy, industrial logistics, or agriculture.
  • Real experience in waste logistics (not product logistics): managing large volumes, routes, and transport costs.
  • Experience negotiating waste contracts and working with producers, managers, or major industrial accounts.
  • Knowledge of the national waste market and its pricing structure.
  • High autonomy, analytical mindset, and results and margin orientation.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally, without a direct team initially.
  • Willingness to travel frequently.
  • Engineering degree (Industrial, Environmental, Civil, or Chemical) or Business Administration/Economics with a strong technical component.
  • Master's degree in Waste Management, Circular Economy, Logistics/Supply Chain, or Operations Management (valuable).
  • Advanced English level is highly valued.
