Friends of the Earth's Keith Kondakor is firmly against burning rubbish, but has applied for the £83,000 director's job leading Project Transform, Coventry's future strategy to deal with waste that can't be recycled.
Mr Kondakor has even told the council he'll do the job for £44,000 less than its salary.
The campaigner says he applied for the job because the council is currently bidding for funding for a new incinerator but the public won't be consulted for at least another three years.
He said: "As a member of the public I will have to wait years before I can have a say at the planning meeting. This will be too late as they will have wasted £4 million by that point on the bidding process. We need to talk now about what is really needed for processing waste in the region. Applying to manage the project seems the only option available to discuss it at the top level."
