• Support the growth of the Bay State Fertilizer bagged product program through expanded market presence and customer engagement.
• Attend and represent Granulite and Bay State Fertilizer at agriculture and biosolids industry events and conferences.

Regulatory Support & Compliance:

• Conduct follow-up with end-users to ensure compliance with beneficial use guidelines and regulations.
• Collaborate with Environmental Compliance staff to ensure all sales and distribution activities meet applicable state and federal regulations.
• Maintain awareness of regulatory frameworks across multiple states and provide compliance guidance to plant operations as needed.
• Track and assess emerging regulatory issues (e.g., PFAS, phosphorus restrictions, micro-contaminants) that may affect product marketing and use.
• Support the development of regulatory strategies to optimize product value and access in target markets.
• Participate in industry working groups or associations to advocate for responsible biosolids recycling policies.

Qualifications:

• Associate's degree or higher in Agronomy, Soil Science, Environmental Science or related field preferred; or equivalent combination of experience and education considered.
• 3-5 years of experience in biosolids recycling, fertilizer sales, or a related agricultural field.
• Hands-on knowledge of soil health, land application practices, and nutrient management.
• Familiarity with fertilizer regulations and land application permitting processes.
• Prior agricultural or farm experience is strongly preferred.
