Michael Craggs

Quality Coordinator @Cleanaway Waste Management

AU

As Cleanaway\'s Hydrocarbons business unit quality manager, I oversee operations spanning three interstate waste oil refineries located in Rutherford,(New South Wales), Wetherill Park (NSW), and Narangba (Queensland). Our pioneering facility at Cleanaway\'s Rutherford site represents a significant achievement as the company\'s first refining facility to attain Category 1 status under Australia’s Product Stewardship for Oil (PSO) program. Operating as a hydrogenation facility, we specialize in refining used oil into premium grade lubricant base oils.My responsibilities extend across state borders, encompassing meticulous management of quality systems and compliance coordination. From overseeing laboratory operations and stringent testing protocols to coordinating on-site product testing, collating data, and conducting comprehensive statistical analyses, I ensure the seamless alignment of quality standards across all three sites.Moreover, I actively engage in collaborative research initiatives with various departments and stakeholders, driving projects aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability. With an emphasis on creating and managing databases housing quality-related data, I facilitate informed decision-making processes crucial for maintaining operational excellence.Additionally, entrusted with the role of enterprise trainer and assessor, I conduct in-house training sessions to uphold the ongoing competency of our interstate workforce. Managing quality across multiple locations demands a holistic approach, requiring strategic planning, operational oversight, and personnel development tailored to the nuances of interstate operations.
