Not Interested in Sitting Behind a Desk All Day?

If you'd rather be out in the field, working with a team, solving real problems, and doing work that makes an impact, this could be the opportunity for you.

You'll work at a variety of locations, which may include industrial facilities, wastewater treatment plants, chemical plants, construction sites, warehouses, oil fields, and power plants.

No two days are exactly the same.

This is a hands-on, physically active position where you'll gain exposure to multiple areas of environmental and industrial field services while working as part of an experienced team.

What You'll Do:

Candidates must be able to:

• Perform physically demanding fieldwork
• Occasionally lift up to 50 pounds
• Work outdoors in varying Buffalo-area weather conditions
• Work indoors in non-climate-controlled industrial environments
• Work in confined spaces and at elevated heights
• Wear required company-issued PPE
