• Maintaining and uploading all shipment documents to the Shared Folder and digital waste reporting tool.

• Liaison with Site Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), Inventory Control and Quality Assurance (ICQA), Inbound Support Services (ISS0, Vendor Returns and Facilities teams responsible for the proper management of hazardous chemicals and generation of hazardous wastes.

• Work with WHS, Operations, ICQA, Vendor Returns and Customer Returns teams to set-up a Products Awaiting Determination Staging Area.

• Regularly engage with site leadership to provide Environmental updates and provide site with visibility of Environmental Performance status and requirements.

• Must be trained on digital waste reporting tool and AU Hazardous Waste Procedure.

• Complete Dangerous Goods (DG)/ HazMat Training.

• Researching trends, inventory loss and cost reduction efforts, where applicable.

• Must be available to assist with incidental spill/leak/release clean-up activities.
