Job description
Regional Environmental Company looking for hard-working individuals to work at local household hazardous waste events (HHW). Mostly Saturdays. Hours vary but are generally 6:30am to 3pm. LOCATIONS VARY EVERY WEEKEND. We run events in and around the Capitol Region, Hudson Valley, and upstate. We service Guilderland, Schenectady, Colonie, Troy, Bethlehem, East Greenbush, Warren County, Eastern Rensselaer County, Columbia County, Greene County, and Essex County. We also do work throughout upstate NY for Chataqua County, Erie County, Steuben County, Otsego County, Cayuga County, Fulton County, Schoharie County, Delaware County, Cortland County, and others. We service much of NJ, Long Island, and CT as well. No experience necessary.
HHWs are events sponsored by the local waste authorities that provide residents a place to drop off their household hazardous waste for proper disposal such as paint, oil, gas/thinners, pesticides, cleaners, pool chemicals, aerosol cans, propane, bulbs, batteries, etc. Our company, MXI Environmental Services, is a private company that bids on managing these events. We provide trucks, equipment, and staff to manage the collection of the waste, characterize it, pack it in proper UN rate containers, and load it to ship into permitted trucks. LOCATIONS VARY EVERY WEEKEND.
New Candidates would initially start the same as all new staff and be responsible for safely unloading waste from citizens' cars and safely transporting it to a sortation area occupied by highly trained staff and, in addition, helping setup and breakdown the event. After two events you will begin to learn additional skills in waste categorization and sortation and assigned additional roles and responsibilities. With good performance you will begin field training with a qualified Field Chemist almost immediately.
Pay begins at $275 for the day for qualified candidates and can grow up to $350 per day with additional training and responsibilities.
To qualify for $275 starting pay you need one of the following:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Science (Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, ect.) from an accredited college/university located in the United States
- A current 40 Hour HAZWOPER training certificate.
- Extensive experience in the Environmental Services field
Must provide copy of degree and official transcripts/ CURRENT 40 Hour HAZWOPER training certificate to qualify. Foreign degrees or Science degrees in not applicable fields (eg. Psychology, Business Administration) will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
THOSE WITHOUTH THESE QUALIFICATIONS ALL ARE INVITED TO APPLY AS WELL!
We are happy to give anyone a chance to learn the job as long as they work hard and treat everyone else with respect. Those without these specific qualifications start no lower than $200. Pay increases happen quickly with hard work, good attitude, and learning additional skills.
Candidates are expected to be available 20-24 weekends a year. The season begins at the end of March and runs through till Thanksgiving. Every holliday weekend (Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day) we have no jobs. And throughout the year we understand if there are weekends you need off for important events, such as weddings, family vacation, ect. With proper notice that’s no problem. But with a high starting wage we expect consistency.
