Work Environment

This role is based at a landfill equipped with a gas collection and control system (GCCS) that supplies a gas-to-energy plant. The position is primarily field-based and involves working outdoors in varying weather conditions on active landfill sites, including frequent walking over uneven, sloped, and sometimes muddy or rough terrain. The environment includes exposure to landfill gas systems, mechanical equipment, and industrial infrastructure. Work hours typically follow a standard full-time schedule, with the potential for occasional variation based on operational needs.
