About The Role

Are you a proven leader in transportation or logistics looking for your next career move with an industry powerhouse? GFL Environmental is seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking Operations Supervisor to take charge of our morning dispatch and route execution.

Starting at 4:00 AM, you will be the key operational catalyst—spearheading early-morning rollouts, empowering our driver teams to hit the road safely and on time, and driving daily operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Morning Dispatch & Fleet Execution: Set the tone for the day starting at 4:00 AM—overseeing driver sign-ins, completing vehicle inspection logs, and ensuring fleet vehicles roll out on schedule.
• Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, onboard, train, and mentor drivers and helpers to build a high-performing, safety-focused culture.
• Operational Efficiency: Monitor route completion, optimize daily container pick-ups, and manage driver scheduling to meet or exceed productivity targets.
• Safety First: Champion a proactive safety culture through daily check-ins, monthly safety meetings, routine route observations, and swift incident investigations.
• Customer & Issue Resolution: Serve as the escalation point for customer requests, missed stops, or route roadblocks, delivering fast, effective solutions.
• Compliance & Data Entry: Maintain complete compliance with CDL regulations, DOT standards, and accurately enter daily operational metrics into our system.
  
  

Why Work with Team Green?

At GFL, our people are our strongest asset. We invest heavily in our team members, providing clear advancement pathways across our North American network.

• Top-Tier Total Rewards: Competitive base salary ($70k–$85k) 20% annual performance bonus potential.
• Generous Paid Time Off: 15 days of PTO right out of the gate, plus paid company holidays.
• Comprehensive Benefits: 4 medical plan options (including HSA with employer contribution & match), plus complete dental and vision coverage.
• Financial Future: 401(k) plan with company match.
• Employee Well-Being: Free counseling services through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Career Growth: Stability in an essential, recession-resilient industry with real opportunities for promotion into higher management roles.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Leadership Experience: Prior supervisory or management experience (preferred in transportation, waste management, fleet operations, or logistics).
• Morning Energy & Reliability: Ready to own the early-morning start (4:00 AM) and bring positive energy to set up our drivers for success every day.
• Industry Acumen: Experience driving commercial trucks, managing CDL drivers, or handling fleet dispatch is strongly preferred.
• Education: High School Diploma or GED required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Business, Logistics, or Supply Chain Management is an asset.
• Safety & Regulatory Knowledge: Solid understanding of CDL/DOT driver regulations and safety protocols.
