Position Summary:
Product Stewardship & Regulatory Compliance (PSRC) is about understanding, controlling and communicating a product's environmental, health and safety related effects throughout its lifecycle from development, through to manufacture and final disposal.

• Provide regulatory guidance to regional manufacturing plants, and support external customer enquiries
• Support and develop process improvements, SOPs and implementation of best practices to ensure regulatory compliance
• Advocate for regulatory compliance and provide internal training, where appropriate
• Any additional responsibilities as assigned according to the defined functional and business objectives

• Strong understanding of the fundamental principles behind GHS for classification of hazardous chemicals
• Knowledge and experience of chemical substance regulations, transport regulations and regulatory reporting in the Americas
• An awareness or interest in the developing regulatory requirements in Latin Americas would be an advantage.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and understanding of the interconnectivity of regulatory data and good judgement in interpreting complex situations
• Some familiarity with SAP EHS linked to SDS authorship or Substance Volume Tracking would be an advantage
• Familiarity working with large databases and good IT literacy with attention to detail
• Ability to manage own workload priorities and ensure all deadlines are met
• Strong self-drive, initiative and ability to work autonomously
• Good interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary, geographically diverse team
• Ability to communicate (in English) and influence effectively including experience of presenting and justifying regulatory recommendations to stakeholders
• Regular and reliable attendance

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to learn and grow. We believe there is no better way to learn than by doing, so from day one you will have the opportunity to make a real difference and develop the next generation of fuel and lubricant additives that will power transportation of the future.
