Job description

The Environmental Technician reports to the Staff Environmental Engineer, Energy CA & TX, and is the on-the-ground support for Environmental Engineer. This role executes field and operations work across hazardous waste and other environmental programs — including stormwater, SPCC, wastewater, air/PBR field data, and secondary containment — so the Environmental Engineer can stay focused on permits, determinations, and technical program content. This is not a hazwaste-only seat. The Technician inspects, collects, samples, records, and coaches the floor; the Engineer owns regulatory filings and technical adequacy.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

Environmental Compliance & Field Operations

• Support Environmental Engineer by executing assigned field tasks, inspections, sampling, and records; elevate deficiencies and data gaps promptly.
• Hazardous waste operations: collect, package, label, and stage hazardous and universal waste from production, maintenance, and support areas; conduct SAA/CAA inspections (labels, dates, accumulation time); complete manifests; schedule vendors; and coordinate drum moves and shipments.
• Compile generator knowledge and field information for waste profiles and share with Environmental Engineer.
• Stormwater: support monthly industrial stormwater visual inspections and enter results in MyEHS; perform BMP, catch basin, yard, and structural control (e.g., Safe Drain) field checks; photo document conditions and close out findings with area owners. Storm drain maintenance is a tentative scope item.
• Support SWPPP implementation in the field (inspection routes, maps, housekeeping observations).
• SPCC: complete tank and container inspections and spill kit inventory/restock.
• Wastewater: collect samples, maintain chain of custody, and keep field logs.
• Air/PBR field support: walk generators and similar equipment (location, hour meter, operability) and help collect department usage log data.
• Verify secondary containment in the field (debris, empty/upside-down containers, required capacity) against site procedures.
• Pull records, prepare binders, and ensure recordkeeping for environmental programs.
• Provide emergency spill support (contain, absorb, overpack) and decontamination.
• Provide on call coverage for PTO, training, weekend work, and off shift events.
• Keep inspection and shipping records complete, accurate, and inspection ready.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 2+ years of experience in environmental operations, hazardous waste, industrial stormwater, or a similar manufacturing/industrial setting.
• HAZWOPER, DOT, and RCRA training certification (or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire).
• Ability to work outdoors and on the production floor; climb, lift, and inspect tanks, yards, drains, and accumulation areas.
• Ability to work efficiently and effectively under pressure.
• Proficiency in operating mobile equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, and carts (or ability to certify).
• Valid driver's license.
• Proficient in Microsoft Outlook and Word, with strong overall computer literacy and the ability to adapt to EHS software (e.g., MyEHS) and other tools.
