Catering, Cleaning & Recycling Deputy Manager

Reporting directly to the Catering, Cleaning and Recycling Manager and working closely with the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Project Lead, the Catering, Cleaning and Recycling Deputy Manager will support the planning, coordination, and delivery of catering, cleaning, waste management, and recycling services across competition venues. 

The role will assist in ensuring services are delivered in line with sustainability objectives, operational standards, and service expectations appropriate to a major international sporting event. Responsibilities will include supporting venue catering service plans, cleaning strategies, and waste and recycling systems, while working with suppliers and contractors to ensure alignment with Glasgow 2026 sustainability and service requirements. 

The Deputy Manager will play a key role in day-to-day operational coordination and Games-time delivery and will deputise for the Cleaning, Recycling & Catering Manager as required. 

The role will initially be based at the Organising Company’s Glasgow city centre office, with visits to competition venues as required to support the effective delivery of responsibilities. As the Games approach, the role will transition to being primarily based at your assigned competition venue. 

The position is initially contracted for 37.5 hours per week (with a 30-minute lunch break), with office attendance aligned to the Organising Company’s working pattern. During the Games-time operational period, shift patterns will apply and may include evenings and weekends.
