GFL Environmental Services (“GES”) is a high-growth environmental services company recently carved out of GFL Environmental Inc. Backed by leading private equity firms, we deliver liquid waste, industrial cleaning, and soil remediation services across North America through 230+ sites and a fleet of 1,800+ vehicles. As we expand, we’re building a best-in-class finance team to support our next chapter of growth.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Supported by GFL’s existing infrastructure during the transition period, the successful candidate will work collaboratively across teams to build scalable processes, enhance controls, and deliver timely and accurate financial reporting. This role requires close coordination across internal finance functions as well as with GFL corporate teams to ensure alignment and continuity during the transition period.
