Job Highlights

We are currently looking to grow our risk management team by adding a highly organized coordinator to track the statuses of 100 critical permits and other regulatory documents using our newly implemented digital document repository and compliance management system. The waste management industry requires a myriad of permits to operate safely and in-compliance with state/federal regulators, and this compliance coordinator will be integral in tracking the effective dates, renewal statuses, and daily upkeep of IWS’ cross-functional permits and regulatory compliance documents.

The Risk Management Associate will support IWS’ VP of Risk Management as the main point-of-contact regarding all regulatory compliance monitoring related inquiries.

The compliance coordinator will then be expected to evaluate the accuracy of the current state for our regulatory compliance tracking system and rectify any outdated or missing information in the system.

Once the initial gap analysis is performed, the Risk Management Associate  will be responsible for following-up with respective stakeholders to track the statuses of permit renewals and other regulatory compliance actions maintained in the system, keeping the data and document repository up to date, disseminating permits and supporting documents to requesting parties/officials, and coordinating the recipients of the system-generated push notifications.
