Full Job Description

Who We Are & Why This Role Matters:

Copia Resources provides route-based and on-site waste management support services for multifamily, commercial, and client properties across multiple markets. Our teams work directly with trash, recycling, and compost operations each day to keep properties clean, functional, and compliant. This is active, hands-on work performed around bins, enclosures, service areas, and outdoor property environments.

We are not a desk-based operation. Our leaders are expected to understand the work, support the field, and maintain high standards where service actually happens. The Route Supervisor is a key frontline management role responsible for daily staffing, route execution, employee accountability, service quality, and communication across assigned operations.

This is a working leadership role. Route Supervisors are expected to lead teams, visit sites regularly, keep operations on track, and personally provide field coverage when needed.

What You’ll Do - Daily Operations & Staffing:

Build and adjust daily routes, schedules, and assignments based on staffing levels and service needs
Assign employees to routes, vehicles, equipment, phones, properties, or work locations as needed
Respond to call-outs, absences, and last-minute coverage issues
Reassign available staff when possible and personally provide field coverage when needed
Help ensure all assigned routes and properties are completed safely, efficiently, and on time
Communicate recurring staffing or operational concerns to Area Management

What You’ll Do - Team Leadership:

Supervise frontline employees across assigned territories, field offices, or service areas
Hold employees accountable to attendance, punctuality, professionalism, safety, and performance standards
Deliver coaching, corrective action, and disciplinary meetings as needed
Conduct interviews and assist with hiring decisions
Make recommendations to HR and Area Management regarding promotions, discipline, and terminations
Reinforce company expectations through team meetings, reminders, and field coaching

What You’ll Do - Field Leadership & Service Standards:

Maintain working knowledge of field responsibilities and company service standards
Perform route or site coverage duties when needed, including hands-on waste and recycling work
Understand proper sorting procedures and ensure materials are placed in correct containers
Inspect completed work to ensure services are thorough and corners are not being cut
Reinforce expectations that jobs are completed fully, not partially or cosmetically
Coach employees who rush work, miss service details, or fail to meet standards
Lead by example through urgency, professionalism, and quality execution in the field
Ensure client sites receive consistent, high-level service every visit

What You’ll Do - Quality Control & Client Readiness:

Conduct spot checks, route audits, and site visits to verify service quality
Identify performance gaps and take prompt corrective action
Participate in property walks and site visits for prospective business opportunities
Help ensure strong presentation and service readiness at client locations
Support operational priorities related to efficiency, labor control, safety, and service quality

What You’ll Do - Communication & Administration:

Communicate staffing issues, incidents, service concerns, and field updates to leadership
Help manage employees on temporary work restrictions in coordination with HR and management
Leverage AI resources/software to increase efficiencies, streamline processes and maximize existing resources
Review timekeeping accuracy and operational records as needed
Maintain organized follow-up on field issues and employee matters

When You’ll Work

This role is primarily a weekday operations schedule aligned with early-morning route launches.

Standard schedule is generally Monday through Friday, beginning around 3:30am–3:45am
Teams begin reporting at 3:45am, with routes typically departing by 4:00am
End times may vary depending on staffing needs, operational issues, meetings, or field priorities
Mornings are fast-paced and time-sensitive, as routes must launch on schedule.
Limited after-hours responsiveness may be needed for call-outs, coverage needs, or urgent operational issues
Weekend field work is uncommon, but occasional support may be required in exceptional circumstances

What We’re Looking For:

Minimum 2 years of management or supervisory experience leading frontline employees in field, operations, logistics, facilities, janitorial, waste, recycling, or similar service environments
Able to read, write, speak, and understand both English and Spanish
Strongly preferred and prioritized: candidates with hands-on experience in waste, recycling, material recovery facilities (MRFs), transfer stations, or other active waste operations where teams sort materials, maintain production standards, and work in demanding environments
Strong leadership presence with the ability to hold standards professionally and consistently
Excellent judgment and ability to solve staffing issues quickly in real time
Organized and comfortable managing schedules, routes, staffing changes, and multiple moving priorities daily
Leads from the front and is never above stepping in to help when needed
Comfortable working in active field environments involving trash, recycling, bins, service areas, odors, outdoor conditions, and physical job sites
Able to coach employees, manage conflict, and document issues appropriately
Strong communicator with employees, clients, and leadership
Comfortable using phones, email, spreadsheets, and scheduling systems
Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record required.
