I. Position Overview
The Landfill Operations Management Trainee (LOMT) role is an integral part of a structured developmental training initiative lasting up to 18 months. Under the guidance of WM frontline leaders, including Area Directors of Disposal Operations and Landfill District Managers, the trainee will engage in various responsibilities related to landfill operations. The primary mentor will be the Landfill District Manager at the assigned training site.

This includes, but is not limited to, safety protocols, environmental compliance, financial management, personnel oversight, heavy machinery operation, community engagement, engineering practices, and waste management strategies. The program is specifically designed to cultivate future Operations Managers and District Managers, paving the way for advancement to Directors of Disposal Operations or similar roles.

Relocation is a requirement (at WM's expense) upon completion of the program, as opportunities for managerial positions at the training site are limited. This will be thoroughly discussed during the interview process.
