JASM - MM_Regional Warehouse & Waste Engineer (5615)

Summary
Based on TSMC's waste management strategy, this role involves planning, executing, and coordinating resource recycling and appropriate waste disposal. This is a highly rewarding position that includes overseeing the overall waste management plan at JASM, as well as daily coordination with waste and recycling suppliers, such as arranging vehicles and conducting on-site inspections. Given the limited number of professionals in Japan with experience in recycling and waste management, this role provides a unique opportunity to gain niche knowledge and expertise. Since production halts if waste disposal is delayed, this job is critical to Fab operations, similar to procurement. Additionally, the Warehouse & Waste section encompasses two areas of work: warehouse management and waste management. Depending on manpower allocation within the section, you may be required to handle both roles.
