Position Summary
The Owner’s Representative – Solid Waste Management will plan, review, and drive the implementation of solid waste management systems at the Richmond Hockney bioconjugation and biologics campus. This position ensures that the site’s waste infrastructure and procedures meet corporate environmental goals, all relevant federal and state regulations, and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements—with a special focus on cytotoxic potent/ADC waste and BSL-2 biological waste unique to bioconjugation and biologics processes, in addition to general solid waste and recycling programs.
You will be the primary owner-side interface with the Process Design/Process Engineering group, the design team, EH&S, Quality, and Operations, ensuring waste-related decisions are incorporated early and followed through design, procurement, and start-up phases.
Environmental and Sustainability Goals
- Zero waste to landfill from routine operations
- 100% of plastic waste repurposed for beneficial use; at least 90% recycled or reused
- Integration of sustainability principles into packaging, materials, and waste stream design decisions
- Support site-level metrics and reporting as part of the overall sustainability commitment
Key Responsibilities
Owner’s Engineering / Design Interface
- Represent ownership interests in waste-related design reviews with the design team and process/equipment vendors
- Review and comment on process flow diagrams, waste flow maps, P&IDs, and room layouts affecting waste management
Process Group Coordination
- Serve as liaison with Process Design/Engineering to identify and characterize all waste streams from unit operations (bioconjugation, purification, fill/finish, lab support)
- Translate process-driven waste characteristics (e.g., volume, toxicity, biohazard classification) into facility and logistics requirements
Cytotoxic / Potent Waste Program
- Own cytotoxic/ADC waste strategy: closed-system handling, deactivation protocols, segregated storage, HEPA/negative pressure rooms, PPE decontamination, and offsite treatment/incineration vendor selection
BSL-2 Biological Waste Program
- Define and validate handling, decontamination, packaging, labeling, and disposal pathways for BSL-2 biologics/lab-derived biohazardous waste, in coordination with EH&S/Biosafety
General Solid Waste & Recycling
- Develop, implement, and oversee non-hazardous solid waste and recycling programs (office, warehouse, construction, routine operational waste)
- Establish collection points, hauler/vendor strategy, and diversion targets to support zero-waste-to-landfill goals
Workstream Management
- Manage the solid waste workstream including schedule, budget, milestones, and interdependencies with other process groups
If you are passionate about sustainable operations, facility project management, and have expertise in waste management within technically demanding environments, we welcome your application!
