Environmental Manager / Chrysler Transport
As environmental manager at Chrysler Transport I was responsible for maintaining the ISO 14001 quality system at three transport terminals. This program tracked and maintained Chrysler Transport's waste streams to ensure that federal and state regulations were being met and goals were set to reduce waste. This program was audited annually by Chrysler and a third party in order to maintain certification.
