Job Description and Duties

Under close supervision of the Senior Environmental Scientist (Supervisory), the incumbent Program Technician, and under general supervision and guidelines when incumbents become proficient in their duties, in accordance with established procedures, incumbents learn and perform increasingly difficult duties required to carry out functions of the Waste Tire Hauler Registration and Manifest Program.

This Program seeks to manage and mitigate the impacts of waste and used tires on public health and safety, and the environment by ensuring waste and used tire facilities comply with tire permitting, storage, and movement laws, regulations, and state minimum standards.

Working with the team of Waste Tire Hauler Registration and Manifest Program, the incumbent Program Technician will process incoming waste tire hauler registration applications and renewals using the CalRecycle's Waste Tire Management System (WTMS) database. The incumbent will issue Waste Tire Hauler Registrations, and process related materials following procedures and regulatory requirements.

The incumbent will respond to incoming phone calls, e-mails, and hard copy correspondence, in both English and Spanish to and from waste tire haulers and the regulated community, the public, CalRecycle team members, Tire Enforcement Agent (TEA) Grantees, and Enforcement Partners regarding basic statutory and regulatory requirements of the waste tire hauling and manifesting program.

The incumbent will be responsible for reviewing work processes and reporting on status of program activities, supplies and materials to the Supervisor and team members within the Waste Tire Hauler Registration and Manifest Program.

Beginning July 1, 2026, CalRecycle staff will be office-centered, requiring employees to report to the office at least four days per week. This position may be eligible for hybrid telework under Government Code 14200, subject to the candidate meeting telework eligibility criteria set forth in the CalEPA telework policy and/or future program needs. Employees not residing in California are not eligible for telework. Regardless of telework eligibility, all employees may be required to report to the positions designated headquarter location, as reflected on the duty statement and at their own expense.

The incumbent works on the 10th floor of a high-rise office building in downtown Sacramento, in an enclosed, large shared-workspace office cubicle area, shared with other team members, in a smoke-free environment. The large, shared workspace is the location of the individual workspace of the incumbent, as well as other team members and is used to retrieve printed materials, access supplies, organize materials, and prepare and package mailings. The job also requires the use of a freight elevator for moving supplies, and work in the CalEPA dock area in a semi-enclosed large garage space with large equipment and occasional large vehicles moving and present.
