Ireland's largest recycling operator scaling operations infrastructure
Greenstar operates 40+ recycling and waste-management sites across Ireland with 520+ employees, now mid-migration onto a new ERP system while building out CMMS, hazard-risk management, and contractor-control systems. The hiring velocity is accelerating—55 roles posted in the last 30 days—with operational roles (43 open) far outpacing engineering (11), suggesting the bottleneck is execution capacity in field operations and compliance rather than product development.
Greenstar is Ireland's largest recycling company, providing waste collection, materials recovery, on-site composting, and energy-recovery services to industrial, commercial, and domestic customers. The company operates across 40 sites with over 520 employees and generates revenue through a mix of collection contracts, material sales, and waste-to-fuel processing. Current operational focus centers on compliance with DVSA regulations, minimizing equipment downtime, and maintaining safety standards across their fleet and processing assets. The technology stack reflects a traditional industrial operations model: Workday for HR, Sage for finance, Power BI for reporting, GPS and PLC systems for fleet and equipment management.
Core systems include AWS (cloud infrastructure), Workday (HR/payroll), Sage (accounting), Power BI (analytics), and GPS/PLC systems (fleet and equipment management). Microsoft Office and Excel are standard across operations.
Major initiatives include ERP implementation, CMMS (computerized maintenance management) system rollout, hazard and risk management system development, contractor control database, and asset investment planning—focused on operational scalability and compliance.
