You will serve as a pivotal contact for the development, implementation, and sustainability of all initiatives related to Veolia's Chemical Manufacturing Services (CMS) within the Water Technologies and Services (WTS) business unit or associated regional operations.


In this essential role, you will provide expert technical guidance, direction, and training to plant personnel and operators on chemical processes and safety protocols, ensuring compliance with operational standards and safety regulations.

  • Represent Global Process Chemistry in team meetings and projects to ensure that process chemistry and safety requirements are addressed from a regional perspective while aligning with global standards.
  • Support cost-reduction initiatives by evaluating optimal operational strategies, including in-house production versus toll manufacturing.
  • Assist the regional tolling technology transfer leader by compiling and providing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for toll manufacturing, conducting onsite audits for EHS, quality, and engineering, and ensuring the completion of corrective actions. Be an integral part of the qualification team throughout the entire qualification process, offering guidance and support during scale-up trials to ensure safe operations and deliver products that meet quality standards.
  • Collaborate closely with the engineering team during the design and commissioning phases of new engineering projects at Veolia CMS plants, providing technical process support.
  • Compile process safety documentation, including P&IDs, equipment design specifications, and process parameters necessary for the successful execution of Process Hazard Analyses (PHA/HAZOP).
  • Implement the company's internal standards for hazardous processes, including flammable materials, combustible dust handling, and neutralization reactions.
  • Establish, maintain, and enhance all facets of the company's process safety program, ensuring compliance with relevant OSHA, EPA, EU, and local regulations, including Process Safety Management, Risk Management Plan (RMP), and Seveso directives.
  • Drive continuous improvements in systems and processes through digitization and Lean Six Sigma methodologies.
