Perma-Fix Environmental Services said Monday it has promoted a longtime manager to the position of executive vice president of waste treatment operations.
The Board of Directors for the Atlanta-based waste management company approved Richard Grondin’s appointment on July 22, also making him an executive officer, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Grondin, 61, has been with Perma-Fix since 2002, in waste-treatment business roles including vice president of technical services, vice president/general manager at the Perma-Fix Northwest Richland Facility in Washington state, and vice president of western operations. He has worked for more than 35 years in the radioactive and hazardous waste management industry, with a focus on startup of facilities for Waste Control Specialists in Texas and other employers, Perma-Fix said.
“In his positions with the Company, Mr. Grondin, together with others, transformed the [Perma-Fix Northwest Richland] facility to a profitable subsidiary after its acquisition by the Company,” the SEC filing says. “Prior to his employment with the Company, he managed the startup of ATG Mixed Waste facility and the startup of WCS facility.”
In his promotion from vice president of western operations to executive vice president, Grondin’s salary has increased from $208,000 to $240,000 as of July 22.
