Assistant Operations Manager
Early-Morning Operations | Logistics, Customer Service & Recycling
Location: 222 Jernee Mill Rd., Sayreville NJ 08872 Schedule: Early mornings required (typically 5:00–5:30 AM start); M-F work schedule, Saturday and Sundays OFF Compensation: Competitive; based on experience; Salaried Rate plus quarterly bonuses based on performance Growth Opportunity: Designed to grow into a full Operations Manager role for the right candidate
About the Role We are a fast-growing recycling and logistics company seeking an Assistant Operations Manager to support daily field, yard, and route operations.
This role exists to ensure mornings run smoothly, problems are handled early, and operations stay consistent as the company grows. The ideal candidate enjoys being the first one in, taking ownership, and solving real‑world operational issues in a fast‑paced environment.
This is a hands‑on leadership role, not a desk‑only position.
Key Responsibilities Morning Operations (Primary Focus)
Serve as the first operational contact each morning
Confirm driver attendance, truck readiness, and route coverage
Ensure yard and equipment readiness before routes roll
Resolve common operational issues independently
Escalate only true emergencies (safety or revenue‑critical) directly to owner
Daily Coordination & Execution
Adjust routes, assignments, and resources as needed
Communicate clearly with drivers, yard staff, and office team
Maintain calm, consistent leadership under pressure
Reporting & Documentation
Provide a concise daily operations summary
Log issues, actions taken, and outcomes
Help document procedures so operations don’t rely on one person
Leadership Support
Work alongside the Operations Manager to support daily execution
Take first‑line operational and administrative issues off leadership’s plate
Help build structure, consistency, and operational redundancy
What Success Looks Like
Routes leave on time
Fewer after‑hours or before start of day issues
Clear, organized communication
Problems handled early and documented properly
Operations run consistently, even when leadership is not present
Required Qualifications Education (Required)
Operations Management
Supply Chain Management
Logistics & Transportation
Industrial Engineering
Construction Management
Manufacturing Management
Business Administration with an operations or logistics focus
This role requires applying education in a hands‑on, real‑world operations environment. Candidates must be comfortable working in the yard, with drivers, and in fast‑moving field conditions.
Experience & Traits
Prior experience in logistics, trucking, waste, recycling, construction, manufacturing, or yard operations preferred
Comfortable with early‑morning schedules
Strong decision‑making ability
Organized, reliable, and calm under pressure
Clear communicator who documents issues instead of escalating unnecessarily
This Role Is NOT a Fit If You:
Prefer working late nights
Are not comfortable starting work early
Need constant direction or approval
Avoid accountability
Prefer office‑only environments
(Please read carefully before applying.)
Why Join Our Team
Stable, growing company with long‑term opportunities
Hands‑on leadership and real responsibility
Opportunity to grow into a senior operations role
Early‑morning schedule often allows afternoons free (while just answering phones, documenting calls and adding calls to routes)
Be part of a team that values consistency, accountability, and execution
Application Questions (Required)
What time do you typically prefer to start your workday, and why?
How has your college education helped you make real‑time operational decisions?
Describe a situation where you solved a problem without calling your supervisor.
Are you comfortable starting work consistently at 5:00–5:30 AM?
It’s 5:15 AM. Two drivers call out and one truck won’t start. What do you do?
Final Note We are looking for someone who takes pride in keeping operations moving, protecting leadership’s time, and being reliable when it matters most.
If you’re disciplined, early‑rising, and ready to grow in an operations leadership role, we’d like to hear from you.
