The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has announced the recruitment of qualified and experienced heavy-duty equipment operators to support its sanitation, waste management, drainage, emergency response, and city improvement operations.

The Mayor of Accra, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, who disclosed this during the outdooring of two new compactor waste trucks, stated that successful applicants would be required to operate the assigned equipment to support refuse collection, waste evacuation, drain desilting, debris removal, post-flood clean-up activities, and other operational assignments of the Assembly.

He said the recruitment formed part of measures to build a reliable pool of skilled operators who could assist in the effective management of sanitation and environmental challenges within the city.

He noted that applicants must have relevant experience in operating the equipment they were applying for and must possess the required licence or certification to operate heavy-duty machinery adding that the Assembly was looking for disciplined and hardworking persons who could work under pressure.

He pointed out that the recruitment was necessary because effective sanitation management required not only the availability of equipment but also skilled personnel who could operate the machines safely and efficiently.

The Mayor noted that the exercise was also in line with the Assembly’s commitment to improving public service delivery and building a clean, safe and orderly Accra.

He encouraged qualified and experienced operators to submit their application letters, copies of valid licences or certificates, curriculum vitae and other relevant supporting documents to the  Human Resource Department of the Assembly.
