About the Company

Our client is a clean technology company focused on waste transformation. They have developed and are commercializing a set of disruptive processes to convert municipal solid waste (MSW) and landfill-destined plastic streams into high-value fuels, chemical feedstocks, and recyclable materials.

Their core concept is the complete separation of MSW, enabled by a technological breakthrough that delivers pure products not previously achievable. The result is unprecedented levels of value recovery and waste diversion — with the potential to practically eliminate the need for landfills in the future. Our client believes that current consumption and waste patterns are unsustainable and that we must fundamentally rethink how we sustain ourselves on this planet.

Their first North American facility began construction in the spring of 2018, located in Chester, Nova Scotia, with a processing capacity of 70,000 tonnes per year of MSW. They are currently seeking Operating Technicians to join their growing team.
