refurbish your career with a job in waste management

Hopefully, the groundhog was right and we’re heading into an early Spring – we won’t think about the role climate change might play in that! We will think about Spring cleaning, though, which often means throwing lots of things away. Hopefully, you’re reusing or recycling what you can; however you dispose of those goods, you contributing to the work of the waste management industry. See how this kind of work isn’t going to go anywhere?

We’ve got a couple of jobs for you this week from our partners at Green Job Post. Take a look, and don’t forget to sign up for our weekly email alerts. And if you’re thinking about listing a new job in waste management or other fields related to environmental conservation and protection, consider tell GJP what you’re looking for in a job listing service through this questionnaire. You’ll get a coupon for free listings by taking two minutes to answer the questionnaire.

And on to this week’s featured jobs…
