Project Manager - REACH Consortia
Exciting opportunities are now available for regulatory affairs professionals with experience dealing with REACH activities to join us as Project / Consortia Managers at ReachCentrum, an ERM group company. This role would be right for someone who has a passion to help clients become compliant with REACH regulation on chemical substances; as REACH mandates chemical companies to register their substances manufactured or imported in a joined effort with other potential registrants of the same substance. This person will also play a key role to support our clients who typically organise themselves in REACH consortia for the necessary preparation communication and decision making processes. Currently ReachCentrum is managing about 100 consortia and the demand is growing as many companies require support with the 2018 deadline registration, not necessarily organized in a consortium.
