Clean Harbors is looking for a National Insite QA/QC Manager who will be responsible for remaining compliant with standards established for their region.

The National InSite Manager role delivers measurable financial and operational impact across multiple dimensions:

1. New Program Launches – Revenue Enablement & Cost Control
These leaders ensure Day 1 operational readiness, accelerating speed-to-revenue while minimizing startup errors, rework, and corrective actions.

Their ability to standardize processes reduces long-term labor costs and enhances customer confidence and contract stability.

2. LOA Coverage – Revenue Protection & Business Continuity
By providing seamless coverage during Leaves of Absence, the role prevents service disruptions, SLA violations, emergency backfills, and premium labor costs.

This protects contract revenue and reduces operational risk exposure.

3. QA/QC Oversight – Margin Protection & Risk Mitigation
Through proactive quality assurance and compliance oversight, these managers prevent chargebacks, credits, safety incidents, and regulatory risk.

Their oversight reduces rework expenses and supports consistent margin performance across programs.

4. Talent Attraction & Retention
Due to the extensive travel requirements and elevated level of responsibility, aligning title and total compensation is critical to attract and retain qualified talent.

The National InSite Manager designation represents a promotional step from the current InSite Ops Manager role and reflects the broader organizational impact.
