Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Work on meaningful, hands-on projects — from underground storage tank installations to remediation and environmental construction — where your work genuinely matters
  • Earn competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities and prevailing wage projects that reward your time in the field
  • Grow your career with paid training, paid certification and license fees, and real pathways to advancement within a supportive, skilled team
  • Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including matching 401(k), health, dental, vision, and life insurance, FSA, paid holidays, and paid sick time

This is a firm requirement. Candidates without this background will not be considered.
