This role is primarily field-based and involves working at large landfill sites and multiple remote locations. You begin with approximately one month of training at a home landfill, working standard 40-hour weeks while learning field procedures, equipment operation, and safety practices. During this period, you commute to the training landfill and receive full personal protective equipment. After successfully completing training, you travel regularly to sites across states such as Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, spending 60–80% of your time on the road. Once you demonstrate safe and reliable driving, you receive a company truck for travel between sites. The work takes place outdoors i
