Oh, you're still here? Ok, read on then -
The
feedstocks collection business is complex and requires a variety of
skills, but is still in it's infancy compared to the capacity of its
markets. It is a position which involves meeting and talking with lots
of people and maintaining good relationships with them, advertising and
pricing both planned and on the fly, and a good understanding of
business and business relationships. As a result, the manager must be
interested in sticking with the business until it is many times its
current size and must also stay focused, on a daily basis, on acquiring
new accounts and expanding into new markets. In addition, physical
work is a constant part of the job. Driving truck, lifting barrels and
other heavy objects, and generally getting dirty all can be
responsibilities of the manager. Enjoying a mix of physically,
mentally, and socially challenging work is an absolute necessity for
success. The manager is essentially independent in his/her
decision-making, but he/she has to be willing to look to others for
advice and guidance to assure that every decision is the best one, so
working in a team is key. In the end, this position holds the key to
the future of the project as a whole, and therefore must be done with
the utmost effort and skill.
