• Travel between SCC locations and vendor or project sites using an SCC-authorized vehicle or other approved transportation, as assigned.
• Assist with the coordination and oversight of facility renovations, additions, relocations, and space modifications as assigned.
• Handle municipal waste, recyclable materials, hazardous materials, and regulated medical waste only in accordance with SCC’s Exposure Control Plan, Hazard Communication Program, waste-management procedures, required training, and assigned personal protective equipment.
