• Perform daily field inspections and plant walkthroughs, as you will review system conditions such as blowers, decanting processes, and water levels.

• Record and track operational data using Excel and electronic logs, as we rely on accurate reporting to monitor performance and compliance.

• Manage hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including labeling, storage, documentation, and regulatory compliance, as you will help us maintain safe operations.

• Oversee waste handling areas and ensure disposal practices across the site.

• Coordinate with suppliers and service providers, as you will support maintenance and environmental-related activities across the plant.
