Through a combination of assigned tasks, a structured training program, and practical projects, the trainee will acquire in-depth knowledge of daily landfill operations, focusing on safety, environmental compliance, financial management, personnel oversight, equipment handling, community engagement, and waste management strategies. This program aims to cultivate future Operations Managers and District Managers, paving the way for advancement to Director-level positions.

Relocation is a requirement upon program completion (at company expense). It is uncommon for management positions to be available at the training location, which will be clarified during the interview process.
