About The Position

The project involves a major utility closing coal ash ponds near Milledgeville, Georgia, by moving the ash into a new lined landfill on the same property. This position entails operating the landfill: receiving the ash, placing and compacting it, and running the liner, leachate and stormwater systems underneath it. The role involves managing the entire operation, including approximately 39 people, a rented fleet of over 30 machines, two working faces operating simultaneously, and around 300 truckloads of material per day. Key responsibilities include managing cell phasing and stack progression, which influence leachate generation and schedule adherence. The position also requires managing the relationship with the owner through progress reporting, change orders, requests for information, and schedule updates. Coordination with other contractors on site, including the excavation crew and the owner's quality assurance consultant, is essential. Financial and production management, including cost per cubic yard placed, equipment utilization, and monthly forecasting, is also a critical part of the role. A supervision team of four (superintendent, quality manager, safety manager, project administrator) will report to this position.
