  Landfill space in Ontario and at the City's Green Lane Landfill, is expected to reach capacity by approximately 2035. While the City has a number of successful waste reduction and diversion programs in place to support the Long-Term Waste Management Strategy's aspirational goals of zero-waste and moving towards a circular economy, long-term solutions for the disposal of residual waste (e.g. garbage) are still required.

  Reporting to the Director, Policy, Planning & Outreach, Solid Waste Management Services, you’ll provide strategic direction, overall coordination and lead the project management/business transformation of the City’s short, medium and long-term Residual Waste Management Workplan activities. You will lead and manage a multi-disciplinary team to execute the options in the Council approved Residual Waste Management Work Plan. This will include working with a diverse team and staff across the division, other divisions, stakeholders and communities to provide direction, leadership and guidance in order to deliver on the Work Plan and also provide updates and future recommended options to City Council.

  As the Project Director, Business Transformation, you’ll develop and implement a functional governance structure for the Residual Waste Management Work Plan activities that will report to the Solid Waste Management Service Senior Management Team. You will also set overall timelines and reporting frameworks to ensure any impacted policies, major operational changes and budgetary activities requiring business transformation are supported through the appropriate change management practices.

  Providing updates and reports on the project progress to the Solid Waste Management Service Senior Management Team, you’ll direct the implementation of any divisional change management strategies and provide leadership and oversight to multi-disciplinary project teams.

  Your success in this role will be supported by the following:
