Senior Consultant Process Chemistry, Waste Burn Planning & AI Optimization
Position: Senior Consultant
Location: Remote
Travel Required: Ohio and Indiana (4 to 5days in a Month)
Duration: Full Time
Role Summary
This role leads the organization's chemistry-driven burn planning transformation, combining deep expertise in waste chemistry and thermal treatment with AI-generated burn plan design and optimization. The Director owns the definition, governance, and continuous improvement of chemistry-based burn plans from waste profiling and compatibility, to feed composition, burn parameters, and closed-loop learning.
The role is accountable for ensuring that AI-generated burn plans are chemically sound, operationally feasible, safe, and value-optimizing, and are adopted across facilities.
Required Experience & Qualifications
• MS or PhD in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering (process or thermal focus strongly preferred).
• 10 12 years experience in waste management, hazardous waste, incineration, or thermal treatment operations.
• Deep hands-on expertise in:
• Waste chemistry and compatibility
• Burn plan development and optimization
• Thermal process control and emissions behaviour
• Proven experience working with advanced analytics, AI/ML, or decision optimization systems (as a domain leader, not necessarily a coder).
• Strong ability to translate chemical intuition into structured rules, constraints, and data models.
Success Measures
• AI-generated burn plans adopted as the primary planning mechanism.
• Measurable improvement in burn stability, throughput, and safety.
• Reduced chemistry-related incidents and manual overrides.
• Scalable burn planning framework deployed across facilities.
