About the role Seeking a hands‑on Environmental Compliance Specialist for a field‑based, operating‑facility role for someone who has supported environmental compliance in heavy industry, energy, power generation, solid waste, or comparable plant operations. This role offers visible, meaningful work across a solid waste‑to‑energy facility, also known as a Thermomechanical Treatment (TTF) Facility, two solid waste transfer stations, and a closed landfill. You will help maintain compliant air, CEMS, water, ash, solid waste, and hazardous‑waste programs while building depth in a practical, high‑accountability operating environment. The Environmental Compliance Specialist supports the Haverhill facilities (TTF and Landfill) and its satellite facilities (Lynn and Danvers Transfer Stations). This role reports to the Haverhill Facility Manager and partners closely with the Regional Landfill Manager, Regional Environmental Director, plant operations, maintenance teams, consultants, laboratories, and regulatory agencies. Approximately 80% of the work supports the thermomechanical treatment facility and 20% supports transfer stations and landfills, facilities. This is not a laboratory, academic, research, or audit‑only role. This work requires routine site presence and direct involvement in facility environmental compliance. Key Responsibilities Support environmental compliance programs for air emissions, CEMS, ash, solid waste, stormwater, wastewater, and hazardous waste. Participate directly in facility permit applications, renewals, modifications, and supporting documentation for construction, operation, and expansion. Complete and review environmental testing, monitoring, data, records, and regulatory reports; ensure submittals are accurate, complete, timely, and retained to Reworld and regulatory standards. Conduct environmental walkdowns at Haverhill facilities (TTF and Landfill) and satellite facilities (Lynn and Danvers Transfer Stations); document findings, coordinate corrective actions with operations and maintenance, and follow actions through closure. Support air-emissions and CEMS activities, including review of emissions records, testing results, equipment logs, and related reports. Coordinate environmental testing and compliance work with consultants, engineers, contractors, and testing laboratories. Analyze environmental and operational data to identify compliance risks, trends, and opportunities for improvement. Support regulatory-inspection readiness and communicate technical compliance matters clearly to operating teams and external stakeholders. Monitor federal and state regulatory changes and help update permits, test plans, procedures, and compliance strategies. Support Reworld growth initiatives and community outreach for mercury and mercury‑containing‑product diversion. Required Background Bachelor's degree in environmental science, engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, biology, or a related scientific discipline. Relevant power‑plant, industrial‑operations, or military experience may be considered in place of a degree. At least three years of direct, on‑site environmental compliance experience in a heavy‑industrial, energy, power‑generation, waste‑to‑energy, landfill, transfer‑station, recycling, material‑processing, or comparable operating facility. Direct participation in environmental permits, permit renewals or modifications, regulatory reports or submissions, facility inspections, and corrective‑action follow‑up. Direct experience with environmental testing, monitoring, data review, documentation, or reporting across multiple programs, such as air, water, solid waste, ash, stormwater, wastewater, potable water, or hazardous waste. Familiarity with facility operations and with the practical demands of maintaining compliance in active industrial conditions. Experience working with operations, maintenance, contractors, consultants, laboratories, or regulatory agencies. Ability to use environmental or operational data‑management tools and prepare clear technical records, reports, and presentations. Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to meet testing and reporting deadlines across multiple programs and agencies. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint. Qualified candidates can point to an operating facility where they personally supported permits or regulatory reports, completed environmental inspections or monitoring, and followed compliance findings through closure. Preferred Background Thermomechanical treatment, power generation, boiler, combustion, air‑pollution‑control, stack testing, or CEMS experience. Experience at transfer stations, landfills, material‑processing facilities, recycling facilities, or other solid‑waste operations. Massachusetts environmental compliance or MassDEP experience.
