Q&A: Contract Manager
Find out more about what it is like being a Contract Manager at Axil below.
I’ve been with Axil since Sept 22 and manage a client portfolio, primarily in the food industry, overseeing daily requirements and strategising for long-term customer benefits based on cost, compliance, and carbon reporting.
I started in the transport division but was fascinated by the waste side daily waste, finding joy in solving waste-related challenges and making a positive impact.
One of my memorable moments was managing a short-notice diesel spill at a food site. Mobilising an environmental response team within an hour, cleared in three hours with a comprehensive report to the customer.
Challenges are my passion; problem-solving is in my nature. Staying motivated is easy because I love working for Axil
Ice Hockey and over 45s football are my absolute favorites. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, savouring good food and socialising
In this industry, continuous learning is key. Embrace industry changes, innovations, and invest time, money, and ideas into both customer and Axil projects.
The remarkable aspect is the supportive environment. I feel trusted to make decisions, and every staff member understands their role in achieving the common goal of customer satisfaction. It’s like working within a family – supported, respected, and, dare I say, loved!
