Some of your other key accountabilities will include:
- Ensuring that samples of waste loads are taken and simple analytical testing is performed & recorded to allow acceptance to discharge onsite.
- Ensuring that all appropriate paperwork and electronic records (include duty of care and transportation) is completed and dealt with appropriately.
- Ensure the process for acceptance or rejection of loads based upon procedures is performed consistently & effectively to protect STW's assets & processes.
