RUN THE OPERATION, NOT JUST THE SCHEDULE
Trash to Go is a family-owned Edmonton company doing junk removal, residential and commercial moving, and deliveries across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove and surrounding areas. We're not a franchise and we're not a "chuck it in the truck" outfit — we've built a 5-star reputation one job at a time, and we're growing fast.
We're hiring a hands-on Operations Manager to take day-to-day ownership of the business so the owners can focus on growth. This is a real leadership seat: you'll own the crews, the schedule, the trucks, the customer experience and the numbers. If you're looking for a job where you can coast, this isn't it. If you want to run an operation and grow with it, keep reading.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Operations & dispatch
- Own the daily schedule and dispatch across junk removal, moving and delivery jobs
- Route planning and crew assignment to get the most out of every truck, every day
- Make sure every job is properly quoted, equipped and staffed before the truck rolls
- Manage disposal, recycling and landfill runs, including tipping costs and volumes
People
- Hire, onboard, train and schedule drivers, movers and helpers
- Coach the team on service standards, safety and speed — and hold people accountable
- Handle timesheets and payroll input; keep us compliant with Alberta Employment Standards and OH&S;
- Build a bench so we're never short-handed on a Saturday
Sales & customer experience
- Oversee incoming leads, estimates and follow-up so nothing falls through the cracks
- Step in on estimates and larger commercial or property-management opportunities
- Own customer resolution and claims — fix problems fast and protect our review rating
- Drive Google reviews and repeat/referral business
Safety, fleet & compliance
- Keep trucks and equipment clean, maintained, inspected and road-legal
- Own safety orientation,
toolbox talks and incident reporting
- Manage insurance, WCB and regulatory requirements
The numbers

- Report weekly to ownership on results, issues and opportunities
- Find and kill waste; propose the systems and pricing changes that improve margin
WHO YOU ARE
- Minimum 2 years of skilled moving experience — hands-on knowledge of padding, wrapping and properly loading a truck is required
- 3+ years leading a crew-based, vehicle-based service business — moving, junk removal, waste, landscaping, courier, trades or similar
- Comfortable owning targets and numbers, not just a to-do list
- Calm under pressure: weather, no-shows, difficult customers, a truck down at 8 AM
- Genuinely enjoys developing people; leads from the front and will grab a dolly when needed
- Strong with scheduling/CRM software and quick to learn new tools
- Valid Alberta driver's licence with a clean driving abstract
- Able to pass a criminal record check; physically able to be on job sites
WHAT WE OFFER
