Shift Operations Supervisor – Recycling / Material Recovery Facility

Municipal Waste Solutions – Hampden, Maine
Full-Time

Position Summary

Municipal Waste Solutions is seeking an experienced Shift Operations Supervisor for our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Hampden, Maine.
This is a hands-on working supervisor position responsible for the safe, efficient operation of the MRF during the assigned shift. We are looking for a leader with recycling or solid waste experience who can supervise employees, operate equipment when needed, solve operational problems, and keep material and production flowing throughout the facility.
The ideal candidate leads from the floor, develops employees, and is willing to step into different operational roles whenever needed.
Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily MRF operations with safety as the first priority.
  • Direct employees, equipment, and material flow throughout the shift.
  • Monitor production, throughput, downtime, quality, and equipment availability.
  • Help achieve facility production targets. Tons per hour, tons processed, etc….
  • Coordinate tipping floor, sorting, baling, material handling, and loading activities.
  • Operate front-end loaders, material handlers, forklifts, skid steers, balers, and other equipment when qualified and needed.
  • Provide operator coverage during breaks, vacations, and absences.
  • Work closely with Maintenance to minimize equipment downtime.
  • Lead daily safety and production meetings.
  • Maintain strong housekeeping
  • Coach, train, and cross-train employees.
  • Develop operators, Line Leads, and future supervisors.
  • Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities.
Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of recycling, MRF, solid waste, transfer station, or related industrial experience preferred.
  • Previous supervisory or team leadership experience.
  • Heavy equipment operating experience.
  • Strong understanding of industrial safety and safe equipment operation.
  • Ability to lead, coach, and hold employees accountable.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Ability to work flexible hours, overtime, weekends, and additional shifts as needed.
Experience with automated recycling systems, balers, optical sorters, Lean/5S, or continuous improvement is a plus.
What We're Looking For

We need a supervisor who leads from the floor, not from an office. Someone willing to operate equipment, help on the tipping floor, respond to production problems, work with Maintenance, coach employees, and do what is necessary to keep the operation running safely and efficiently.
At Municipal Waste Solutions, our goal is to create a Great Place to Work while Delivering Great Business Results.
