Join Us in Shaping Western Australia's Future 

Be the leader who transforms waste management into efficient, compliant, and future-focused solutions. 

The Manager Waste Programs is a key leadership position responsible for ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient waste management operations across complex and high-risk sites. This role is critical in maintaining regulatory compliance, driving operational excellence, and supporting team performance in a challenging environment. 

We are seeking an experienced leader with a strong background in waste management or environmental programs and a thorough understanding of regulatory frameworks. You will have demonstrated success in managing complex operations and high-risk environments, coupled with exceptional analytical skills to review technical reports and provide clear, actionable recommendations. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement capabilities are essential, as is the ability to influence and negotiate effectively. 

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on waste management practices and ensure safe, compliant operations across diverse sites. You will work in a collaborative environment that values innovation, accountability, and results, and you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of waste programs. A relevant tertiary qualification in environmental science, engineering, or a related discipline will be highly regarded. 

At the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, we’re not just hiring, we’re building the future. As Western Australia embarks on a bold agenda to remain the strongest economy in the nation, we play a critical role in delivering on government priorities: supporting sustainable development across the state, enabling renewable energy, protecting our environment, and securing our water future. 

We are an influential and future-focused organisation, working at the intersection of science, policy, and community. We’re guided by good science, cultural knowledge, and a values-based culture that reflects who we are and how we go about our work. 

If you're driven to make a real impact, whether it's supporting industry transformation, driving innovation in environmental regulation, enabling clean energy, or restoring waterways we invite you to bring your talent, your ideas, and your commitment to a team that’s delivering for today and planning for tomorrow.
