  • Identify situations requiring additional assistance and escalate specialized, hazardous, or elevated matters to the appropriate team members.
  • Assist with solid waste service-related administrative tasks, including tracking and coordinating requests.
  • Assist with trash-can inventory, placement, ordering, and distribution as needed.
  • Prepare and maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation related to field activities.

Qualifications/Background Profile:
  • Valid Drivers License and Clean driving record.
  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • 2+ years of experience in inspection, sanitation, solid waste, code compliance, customer service, municipal services, or a related field.
