About the Role
The Operations Lead directs waste handling activities for a shift, project, or crew, overseeing sampling, analysis, processing, documentation, and disposition of materials received or shipped.

Key duties include assisting supervisors in coordinating operations staff, managing inventory compliance, and maintaining supplies. The lead coordinates with vendors, transporters, and treatment facilities, and maintains housekeeping of waste handling areas and proper storage of process chemicals.
