About This Role
This executive leadership role is responsible for the strategic governance of a large solid waste infrastructure portfolio within a multi-district smart city. The Director of Waste Management will ensure that advanced waste assets are managed as a sustainable, data-driven capital portfolio, focusing on maximizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), driving automated cross-charge cost recovery models, enforcing data integrity, and managing the multi-decade capital replacement lifecycle in an extreme desert climate.
Responsibilities
- Formulate and continuously update the 10-to-30-year Capital Asset Replacement Plan (CARP) for all solid waste and municipal cleansing infrastructure city-wide
- Drive advanced asset degradation modeling and predictive performance matrices tailored to the intense heat, dust, pneumatic wear, and heavy-use profiles of the region's waste assets
- Conduct rigorous Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and financial trade-off analyses to optimize capital expenditure versus operational maintenance (CAPEX vs. OPEX) for large-scale waste machinery and automated networks
- Partner directly with the Service Charge Director to establish accurate, audited long-term infrastructure sinking funds paid for by commercial entities, mega-entertainment districts, and residential neighborhoods
- Establish and enforce the master asset data hierarchy, naming conventions, and structural classifications for all solid waste infrastructure within the enterprise framework
- Partner with the SAP-EAMS Director to ensure that automated flow telemetry, mechanical runtime metrics, sensor data, and maintenance histories are flawlessly captured in the central SAP Enterprise Asset Management database
- Oversee the deployment and configuration of smart-city infrastructure technology, including IoT-enabled bin sensor networks, pneumatic pressure tracking arrays, and integrated fleet telemetry systems inside the unified asset management platform
- Translate raw automated waste-volume and weight-tracking database metrics into equitable cost-allocation and financial cross-charging models for corporate finance teams
- Deliver audited waste-generation data frameworks to the Service Charge Director to enable automated utility billing and cost recovery across international commercial partners, theme parks, hospitality hubs, and distinct sub-developments
- Design and enforce strict technical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and data-logging compliance protocols for Tier-1 external Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contractors and specialized waste management vendors
- Lead independent operational and technical audits on waste infrastructure to verify that contract partners are completing preventative maintenance according to ISO 55001 standards
- Act as the final technical sign-off authority on the Stage-Gate Handover Committee for all solid waste capital projects transitioning from construction contractors into live operations
