What are the responsibilities and job description for the Facility Manager- Sparta, WI position at FlexTek?
Facilities Manager
Sparta, Wi
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our client is one of the largest diversified environmental services companies in North America, operating across solid waste, liquid waste, and soil remediation. Built through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, the company provides vertically integrated collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal services. They are committed to sustainable practices, operational excellence, and creating a safe, rewarding workplace for their people.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a ground-floor leadership opportunity created by a planned succession - the original owner is transitioning out following the company's acquisition. You'll take ownership of a multi-site hauling operation with roughly 55 employees across two primary locations, managing everything from routing and fleet maintenance to P&L performance and workforce development. The operation is stable and well-established, and the right leader will have a clear growth path into a General Manager title with long-term incentive compensation. This role is ideal for a strong single-site operator ready to step into broader multi-site accountability, or an experienced waste/transportation leader looking for real ownership in a smaller, high-impact operation.
