Hazardous Waste Logistics & Compliance Coordinator
Job Description
Location: Hitchcock, TX Area (Galveston County / Greater Houston)
Position: Full-Time (Direct Hire)
Compensation: $70,000 – $75,000 per year (DOE)
You start by mapping driver routes for regulated materials, industrial wastewater, and specialty chemicals—sequencing pickups and deliveries for maximum efficiency and on-time performance. As the day progresses, you finalize and verify hazardous and non-hazardous waste documentation, including manifests, Bills of Lading (BOLs), Land Disposal Restrictions (LDRs), and waste profiles, aligning every detail with EPA, RCRA, and DOT requirements. You coordinate closely with third-party transport carriers and TSDFs (Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities) to secure approvals and keep turnaround times tight. In parallel, you partner with internal lab teams and field specialists to ensure waste streams are matched to the right treatment capabilities and disposal or recycling paths. Throughout, you track inventory across bulk tanks, totes, drums, and container storage so traceability is unbroken from pickup through final disposal. You reinforce compliance standards—OSHA, DOT, and TCEQ—support safety audits, and keep transport operations incident-free.
