  • Support zero-waste-to-landfill and plastic recycling/reuse goals.
  • Represent the owner during design reviews involving waste movement, collection areas, dumpsters, compactors, and site logistics.
  • Manage workstream scope, schedule, budget, milestones, risks, and project interfaces.
  • Coordinate waste vendor qualification, contracting, documentation, and performance.
  • Support compliance with RCRA, Virginia DEQ, DOT/IATA, and applicable environmental reporting requirements.
  • Maintain waste flow maps, classification tables, design-basis documents, manifests, logs, and related records.
  • Track and escalate cytotoxic, potent, and BSL-2 waste questions to EH&S and Biosafety until a specialized waste-program resource is hired.


Qualifications


  • Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, engineering, EHS, or a related field.
  • Five or more years of experience in industrial or commercial solid waste management, recycling, environmental compliance, or hazardous waste logistics.
  • Knowledge of RCRA, DOT/IATA shipping requirements, waste documentation, and environmental reporting.
  • Experience developing recycling or waste-diversion programs and managing waste haulers or recycling vendors.
  • Capital-project or workstream-management experience preferred.
  • Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote setting and travel periodically to Richmond, VA.

This is a unique opportunity to build the environmental foundation of a next-generation biopharmaceutical facility while working through Kelly Services in a benefits-eligible, long-term role.

Apply today to help create a safer, more sustainable biopharmaceutical campus from the ground up.
