Program Administrator

The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) acts on behalf of the province to oversee end-of-life processing of tires, electronics, paint and used oil materials. Our industry is rooted in the principle of circular economy where resources and products are kept in use for as long as possible, and regenerated into new products and materials at the end of their earlier life cycle. We have recently been named by the province to oversee Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) by way of regulation and are in the process of establishing a new division which will impact the recycling programs in the province of Alberta for decades to come.

If you are passionate about inspiring a future without waste, having fun, embracing change and pursuing growth we would love to hear from you.

We offer a competitive base salary commensurate with experience, an RRSP matching program and an attractive group benefit package.

We are committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in our recruitment processes and in our work environment, where every individual feels valued, respected and a sense of belonging.
