Who are we?

Doko Recyclers is on a mission to build a cleaner, more circular Nepal by treating waste as a resource. We tackle everything from e-waste and plastics to corporate recycling programs, making a difference every day across Kathmandu and Pokhara. E-waste is one of the fastest-growing and most complex parts of that mission, and it's where this role comes in.

Role Summary

We are looking for someone to lead the hands-on management of Doko's e-waste operations. You will oversee day-to-day operations and guide our e-waste team, ensuring every e-waste is properly assessed, repaired, or dismantled, and that our facility runs safely, efficiently, and in compliance with relevant standards. Apart from ground operations, E-waste manager is also responsible for exploring the business advancement opportunities within the e-waste domain, scaling the business into new locations, exploring global funding opportunities, exploring the potential for expanding e-waste recycling, among other areas.

This role suits someone who is as comfortable getting hands-on with electronics and electrical equipment as they are managing a team, and who can translate technical work into something a client or partner understands and trusts. The E-waste department is also a cross functional department working together with operations and clientele departments.

• Collection, Assessment & Repair

• Oversee and manage the collection, storage, and movement of E-waste.
• Supervise the technical screening and assessment of collected E-waste to determine repair/refurbishment potential.

• Ensure standard-compliant handling and disposal of IT assets in line with environmental and safety regulations.
• Ensure accurate and up-to-date inventory records for all E-waste collection, refurbishment, sales, and disposal activities.
• Track, document, and prepare periodic reports on E-waste operations, including revenue sheets, process sheets, delivery notes, etc.

3.Team Leadership and Capacity Building

• Lead, supervise, and mentor the E-waste team, setting performance expectations and providing technical direction.
• Foster a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement within the team.

4.Partnerships and Growth

• Set and execute the strategy for sourcing E-waste, building a steady pipeline through corporate and institutional partnerships.
• Lead technical discussions and coordination for E-waste partnerships with key stakeholders.
• Acquire new clients and strengthen market linkages for both sourcing and destination of E-waste.
• Explore the potential for setting up recycling operations for additional E-waste streams.
• Identify and introduce new revenue verticals within the E-waste domain.

5.E-waste Project Development and Execution

• Lead proposal writing and grant applications to secure funding for E-waste projects.
• Plan, execute, and monitor projects related to E-waste, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and donor requirements.

6.Reporting & Compliance

• Oversee the issuance of E-waste destruction and disposal reports and certifications.
• Ensure compliance with environmental standards, organizational policies, and national E-waste regulations.

7.Stakeholder Engagement & Outreach

• Represent the E-waste department during site tours, client visits, and external events.
• Provide technical expertise to support outreach and business development initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• A Master's in Business Administration (MBA) or other business/management qualification in addition to the above degree is mandatory, given the role's blend of technical and client-facing responsibilities
• Minimum of 7 years of total experience, including at least 4 years in a leadership role within electrical, electronics, or communication hardware operations, maintenance operations or related fields. Experience in e-waste management will have an added advantage.
