  • Coordinate the proper handling, labeling, storage, and shipment of waste materials.
  • Work with waste disposal vendors and contractors to ensure safe, compliant operations.
  • Maintain accurate waste records, shipment documentation, and environmental reports.
  • Identify opportunities to improve waste management efficiency and reduce disposal costs.

Plant Support & Continuous Improvement

  • Help maintain and update safety procedures, training materials, and operational records.
  • Assist with onboarding and training employees on safety, housekeeping, and waste-handling procedures.
  • Coordinate safety supplies, equipment, and purchasing requests.

  • At least 2 years of experience working in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to recognize potential safety concerns.
  • Good organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently, follow established procedures, and manage multiple responsibilities.
