This includes oversight of customer waste received, processed, and recycled on-site, as well as internally generated waste. The manager coordinates waste management, including treatment, storage, disposal, documentation, and regulatory reporting. A strong understanding of solid and hazardous waste regulations is essential, as the role provides technical and regulatory guidance to support compliant operations.

Primary responsibilities include:

Ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental permits, including but not limited to the Wisconsin Waste License, stormwater, and air permits.
Prepare and submit permit applications, renewals, and modifications, with a focus on maintaining the Wisconsin Waste License.

Monitor and manage satellite and 90-day hazardous waste accumulation areas to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.
Oversee all inbound and outbound waste shipments, including operations at the 10-day transfer facility.
Submit monthly electronic alcohol reports in accordance with TTB regulations.
Build and maintain strong relationships with regulatory agencies and third-party vendors to support compliance efforts.
Provide technical and regulatory training and guidance to internal teams, including sales, operations, laboratory, and maintenance personnel.
Prepare and maintain documentation such as waste profiles, land ban notifications, and hazardous waste manifests.
Conduct routine inspections to ensure compliance with hazardous waste, water, air, and SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) regulations and internal policies.
Stay current on environmental legislation and regulations, recommending and implementing procedural updates to minimize legal risk.
Deliver annual environmental training for new hires and existing employees.
Participate in the investigation of environmental incidents and spills, and recommend corrective actions and process improvements.
Respond to special requests and provide technical support to both internal and external stakeholders.
Lead site visits and inspections conducted by customers and regulatory agencies.
Conduct audits of third-party waste vendors to ensure compliance and performance standards.
Complete annual hazardous waste reporting and assist with TRI and other regulatory submissions.
Perform scheduled walkthroughs and inspections (weekly, monthly, annual) using work order-generated checklists, including GMP, universal waste, and 90-day accumulation areas.
Provide leadership, support and backup for filing of manifest and EPA’s e-Manifest system and ensure discrepancies are addressed in a timely manner.
This supports the organization’s ISO 9001 quality management system.
