Job Description
PDS Defense, Inc. is seeking an EHS Manager lll, in Pittsburgh, PA. Job ID#216269
Job Description:
The Byproducts Reuse Navigator will be responsible for helping our industrial sites find reuse and recycling outlets for their hazardous secondary materials, supplemental cementitious materials, and other industrial byproducts with value in other industries. Whether you call it creative recycling, zero waste strategy, byproduct synergy, industrial symbiosis, or common sense, we have residual industrial materials that need to find their next use and these could be seen in liquids, solids or somewhere in between, they could be hazardous or benign, and they could be by the railcar or roll-off or smaller volumes depending on the location. We know these materials have continued value in a circular economy, as we have found solutions in other parts of the world for the same materials. This is envisioned as a part-time role for 2026 (up to 30 hours/week) and intended to prove the business case for a continuing or full-time role. We are not talking packaging and plastics or food waste, it's more about acids and bases, ceramics and aggregates, baghouse dust, and filter cake.
With a focus on guiding different material streams to reuse or recycling partners, this role could develop their own process to describe the materials, explore other industries, make connections, and prove the business case, over and over again in different regions. The role will be responsible for the end-to-end process including initial implementation of the re-use/recycling solution.
The ideal candidate:
• Prior experience finding reuse outlets for industrial byproducts, residual materials, and hazardous secondary materials.
• A Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) Advisor certification and/or CHMM (both is a plus)
• Cross industry connections and networks
• An understanding of logistics cost and documenting the full business case for the selected solution
• See the benefits and logic for moving towards a more effective circular economy
Qualifications
Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor's Degree with a major in Environmental Management, EHS, Sustainable Business, or Engineering
• Prior experience with industrial hazardous waste in heavy industries
• Proficient in developing business cases to support the reuse initiatives and can be technical enough to understand the chemical analyses of the materials
• Versed in applicable legal requirements.
• Travel may be necessary for this role.
• Employees must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
Preferred Qualifications
• Master's Degree with a major in Environmental Management, EHS, Sustainable Business, or Engineering
• Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) Advisor Certification
• Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) Certification
• Strong capabilities in practical environmental compliance in heavy industrial operations, as well as a keen interest and experience in driving environmental sustainability performance forward across a global organization
Benefits offered to vary by the contract. Depending on your temporary assignment, benefits may include direct deposit, free career counseling services, 401(k), select paid holidays, short-term disability insurance, skills training, employee referral bonus, affordable medical coverage plan, and DailyPay (in some locations). For a full description of benefits available to you, be sure to talk with your recruiter.
Military connected talent encouraged to apply.
