Job Description

Roles and responsibilities of this job

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 Manager. 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.

Ensure accurate and up-to-date inventory records for all E-waste collection, refurbishment, sales, and disposal activities.

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.

Acquire new clients and strengthen market linkages for both sourcing and destination of E-waste.

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

Madhyapur Thimi, Bhaktapur, Bagmati Province, Nepal

Doko Recyclers (DR), a social enterprise, is the leading provider of comprehensive waste and environmental services in Kathmandu Valley and outside. DR serves customers in residential, commercial, industrial and municipal markets throughout the valley.

We implement methods to help you segregate waste at its source into different categories before it enters our waste stream. Once it enters our waste stream we continue to separate your waste into different recyclable categories ensuring that the right materials get to the right industries. These industries then extract and reuse existing resources from the waste you give us to create new goods. Our shredding, e-waste, and composting services in addition to our waste pick ups, awareness training workshops, and waste segregation infrastructure setup all allow you to do this instinctively in your own homes and office spaces.
