The Position in Brief

Canyonlands Solid Waste Authority (CSWA) is seeking an Executive Director to lead this long- standing, public solid waste services agency for the 10,000 residents, and three million annual visitors of Grand County, Utah. CSWA will benefit from an experienced administrator who appreciates the complexities of managing a vertically integrated solid waste service provider with a volunteer Administrative Control Board comprised of a member of the Moab City Council member, a member of the Grand County Commission, a representative from Castle Valley, and two at large community members. While CSWA enjoys the support of the county and city governments within its boundaries, the Executive Director and staff are employed by CSWA and operate independently. The CSWA leadership team manages solid waste to address the challenges of providing comprehensive services in a region with significant daily and monthly volume variability. Demonstrating expertise in working with all phases of waste management, the Executive Director will provide leadership and collaborative day-to-day decision-making for all of CSWA's areas of responsibility including: MSW and recyclables collections, roll-offs, two landfills, and a recycling center. The Executive Director will balance everyday management challenges and long-term strategy to engage the Board and other community leaders in addressing cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.
