  • Assist residents and businesses with questions and concerns related to trash, recycling, collection services, and applicable requirements.
  • Evaluate requests for Walk Out Services by visiting properties and determining whether the customer meets the needs for the service.
  • Conduct follow-up visits to determine whether previously identified issues have been resolved.
  • Accurately document inspection findings, service requests, observations, violations, and follow-up actions.
  • Use electronic service-request systems to monitor, investigate, update, and close assigned tickets.
  • Communicate tactfully and professionally with residents, businesses, contractors, and internal staff.
  • Provide information regarding solid waste, recycling, refuse collection, and disposal procedures.
  • 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.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean/acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to operate a company vehicle safely and responsibly.
