- At Coastal, we win as a team. Our Facility Traffic Coordinators help keep our operations moving safely by protecting employees, customers, equipment, and the environment while supporting the success of our post-collection facilities.
What You'll Bring
- One (1) or more years of experience in construction, waste and recycling, transportation, manufacturing, warehousing, industrial operations, or another physically demanding work environment.
