Edgewater is seeking qualified candidates for a Waste Operations Project/Program Manager opportunity for our customer in Los Alamos, NM to support the Los Alamos Legacy Waste Cleanup Project.
Work Location: Los Alamos, New Mexico at the TA-54 CH-TRU waste remediation project, though majority of work takes place on site, periodic telecommuting may be authorized.
Project and Program Manager to support CH-TRU Waste Operations
SCOPE
The Waste Operations Project/Program Manager will ensure all activities and operations are performed in a safe and deliberate manner; will maintain required safety, security and operational training; assure procedural and regulatory compliance; and make safety, security and quality an integral part of every task; including taking the necessary steps to stop work if continuing the job is unsafe or compromises security.
SPECIFIC TASKS
The project manager will assist with the development of new concepts, techniques, and standards in the area of Transuranic (TRU) and Mixed-Low-Level/Low Level (M/LLW) waste disposition to meet mission objectives of removing waste from TA-54, Area G and other N3B mission sites. This will include both operational, engineering, and project management senior level support to the Senior Director of Facility and Waste Operations to lead the identification, development, design, procurement, installation, modification, and commissioning of facilities and equipment to support waste disposition in a Hazard Category 2 Nuclear Facility.
This individual should be regarded as an expert in providing facility, engineering, and operations support for waste disposition projects and will serve as the primary interface with functional leads/managers to accomplish mission objectives. The project manager will develop cost-effective, safe, and practical solutions to complex waste management problems which require the regular use of ingenuity and innovation to size reduce, decontaminate, remediate, treat, characterize, and package TRU and/or M/LLW to meet off-site treatment, storage, and disposal requirement including the Waste Isolation Pilot Project.
The project manager will ensure facility, engineering, and operations solutions are consistent with CH-TRU Project organization objectives. The project manager will perform work without appreciable direction and will exercise considerable latitude in determining objectives and approaches to meet CH-TRU mission objectives. Based on the significant impact of the work to be executed by the project manager, the effects of decisions are long-lasting and heavily influence the future course of the CH-TRU Project mission. Errors in judgment or failure to achieve results would result in the expenditure of large amounts of company cost and resources. The project manager serves as consultant to N3B senior and executive management team and will act as a special external spokesperson for the organization on major matters pertaining to its policies, plans, and objectives.
