Manager of EPR & Sustainability

Environmental 360 Solutions • Canada • Added on Nov 4, 2026
Apply →

This manager leads Environmental 360 Solutions’ producer responsibility work and national sustainability program. The role connects producer customers, regulators, operating divisions and service providers, translating changing requirements into practical collection, recovery, reporting and customer services. It also advises leadership on initiatives across the company’s operations and services.

The work sits at the intersection of waste management and regulation: effective producer responsibility can direct materials into recovery systems, while consistent sustainability data helps the business and its customers track environmental performance. EPR policy engagement and compliance are especially prominent, with Ontario identified as a priority within the national remit.

This suits someone who has built corporate sustainability programs, managed EPR obligations and can move comfortably between policy analysis, operational coordination and customer relationships. Clear communication, attention to detail and the ability to interpret complex rules and financial models matter in a fast-moving, growing organization.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role oversees producer customers’ EPR obligations, from proposals and agreements through compliance reporting and ongoing communication. It also coordinates collection, transport and recovery activity with company divisions and suppliers, while managing the PRO team and required regulator reporting. On sustainability, the manager advises leadership, gathers data from divisions, supports the corporate sustainability report and helps integrate initiatives into operations and customer services. Policy monitoring, regulator engagement and participation in consultations connect these workstreams to changing requirements and business delivery.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The position could deepen expertise in Canadian EPR rules, with particular exposure to Ontario, and develop a detailed understanding of how producer responsibility programs operate across jurisdictions. Regular contact with regulators, policymakers, producers and service providers would offer practical insight into policy development and program delivery. The role also offers scope to build experience in sustainability strategy, emissions and KPI reporting, resource recovery operations, customer compliance services and leadership of a PRO team. The posting does not specify formal training, certifications or mentorship arrangements.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The posting seeks a post-secondary graduate with at least five years of experience in sustainability and EPR-focused work. A strong fit would bring hands-on experience managing producer responsibility obligations, developing corporate sustainability programs and interpreting regulations, policy and financial models. Clear writing and presentation skills would help with producer communications, consultations and leadership advice. The candidate should be comfortable coordinating across divisions and independent providers, attentive to reporting detail, proficient with Microsoft Office and able to adapt to shifting priorities.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Show a clear record of EPR delivery, ideally with examples of producer compliance, regulator reporting, collection or recovery coordination, and engagement with policymakers. Where possible, describe the scale and jurisdiction of programs you managed and how you kept reporting accurate as rules changed. Also include a concrete sustainability program example, such as a reporting process or operational initiative, and explain how you secured input from multiple teams. Prepare to discuss how you would balance producer service, regulatory obligations and practical delivery across a growing national operation.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role’s sustainability focus is closely tied to resource recovery and producer responsibility. It supports producers in meeting regulatory requirements and coordinates the collection, transport and recovery activities needed to fulfill program rules. The wider remit includes corporate sustainability strategy, gathering information from divisions, tracking emissions and other KPIs, and contributing to the sustainability report. The posting also points to customer-facing sustainability services and engagement with regulators and industry stakeholders, though it does not specify particular emissions targets or named environmental initiatives.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

A likely challenge is keeping pace with differing EPR rules and policy changes across Canada while giving Ontario particular attention. The manager must turn regulatory requirements into reliable reporting and workable collection and recovery processes involving multiple divisions and external providers. Another challenge could be reconciling producer expectations, operational capacity and compliance deadlines. Sustainability data may also be spread across divisions, making consistent measurement and reporting dependent on effective coordination and careful quality checks.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A day could combine reviewing regulatory updates and reporting, responding to producer questions, and coordinating with operating divisions or suppliers on collection and recovery activity. The manager might also meet with regulators, industry groups or customer teams, depending on current consultations and program needs. Other work could include reviewing sustainability data, advising leadership on an initiative, preparing report material or communicating program performance. The mix is likely to vary with compliance deadlines, policy changes and up to 20 percent travel.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The role could build a broad profile across EPR policy, compliance operations, sustainability reporting and customer services. Leading the PRO team and advising senior leadership may also develop people management and strategic decision-making experience. As the company expands through acquisitions and organic growth, there may be opportunities to take on wider program integration or national sustainability initiatives. The posting does not state a defined promotion path, so future progression would depend on organizational needs and results.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

Internal stakeholders include the VP and senior leadership, the PRO team, and staff across E360S operating divisions who contribute data or deliver collection, transport and recovery services. The manager would coordinate with these groups on compliance, reporting and sustainability initiatives. External contacts include producer customers, government policymakers, regulators, independent service providers, suppliers and industry or trade associations. Discussions could cover regulatory obligations, program performance, service delivery, consultations and customer sustainability needs.
