A bit about us:

Our client is a privately held, California based waste management and industrial real estate company with more than four decades of operating history. Founded in 1984, the firm built its foundation in material recovery and transfer station operations, at one point processing well over 10,000 tons of waste per day across multiple facilities throughout the state.

Today, the company owns and operates a 187,000 square foot Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station in Fremont, California that serves the municipal solid waste needs of the Tri Cities area, covering Fremont, Newark, and Union City. The facility handles everything from curbside recyclables and bulk waste to household hazardous materials, and is a long standing partner of the City of Fremont through a multi decade public private partnership.In 2025, our client committed $10 million in facility improvements at the Fremont site, including the installation of AI enabled optical sorting robots, solar power upgrades, and major interior and exterior renovations.

This investment reflects a long term commitment to operational performance, worker safety, and environmental sustainability. The organization also maintains a portfolio of 47 industrial and commercial properties across California, giving employees stability and the backing of a well capitalized company.

Why join us?

You will lead at a facility that is actually investing in itself. The Fremont plant just went through a $10 million capital upgrade. You would be stepping into a role where the infrastructure is being modernized in real time, including new robotics, upgraded solar systems, and improved safety equipment. This is not a deferred maintenance situation. Leadership is putting money into this facility and they need a Maintenance Manager who can help them get the most out of it.

Stability backed by 40 years of history. Our client has been operating in California since 1984 and has a multi decade relationship with the City of Fremont. This is not a startup or a company chasing a short term contract. The Fremont facility has a long runway and the organization has the capital base to support it.

This is a full scope Maintenance Manager role covering mechanical systems, facility infrastructure, preventive and corrective maintenance programs, CMMS oversight, vendor management, and a team of technicians. The recent capital investment means you will also have a hand in integrating and maintaining new automation and sorting technology. If you want a role with real operational weight, this one has it.

Room to build and improve. The organization is bringing in leadership that can professionalize and structure the maintenance function. There is real opportunity to put your mark on programs, processes, and team development in a way that shows up in the numbers.
