Company Description

Veolia is the European market leader in the treatment and recovery of hazardous waste and contaminated sites. Since 1975, we have been meeting the urgent need for hazardous industrial waste management to protect the environment and health. At four locations in Switzerland, we treat and recover hazardous waste to prevent its dilution or release into the environment.

Job Description

• Data and Demand Analysis: You will analyse and monitor material flows, evaluate the performance of individual waste and material categories, and identify optimisation potentials to derive strategic measures.
• Data Management and Documentation: You will record, maintain, and manage waste-relevant data, especially disposal routes, UN numbers, VeVA codes, and other relevant material information.
• Disposal and Recovery Lists: You will create and maintain overviews of standard chemicals and recurring waste streams. In doing so, you will examine possible recovery and sales routes as well as feasibility and allocation based on safety data sheets.
• Network Management: You will maintain and expand the existing network of recovery and disposal partners and identify new sales and recovery opportunities.
• Platform and Outbound Management: You will support the establishment and further development of a platform for the mediation and marketing of material flows within the existing network.
