Assistant General Manager Production

Job Title: Assistant General Manager, Production Location: Manufacturing Plant, Alwar About Greenscape: Greenscape Eco Management is a pioneering Indian urban-mining company, founded in 2007, that transforms end-of-life electronics and electrical goods into valuable secondary materials. Rather than viewing disposed TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other electronic waste as mere refuse, Greenscape treats them as urban mines: sources of precious and base metals such as gold, copper, aluminium and rare earths. Through advanced recovery processes and a robust circular-economy framework, Greenscape has recycled tens of thousands of metric tons of electronic waste and extracted over 40 different metals and minerals. By doing so, the company reduces environmental footprint, curbs demand on virgin raw- material mining, and contributes to sustainable resource management, aligning with broader climate, resource-conservation and social goals.
