Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Step into a stable, in-demand role with a well-established environmental services firm that has a nationwide footprint and a reputation for technical excellence
  • Work on meaningful, hands-on projects — from underground storage tank installations to remediation and environmental construction — where your work genuinely matters
  • Earn competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities and prevailing wage projects that reward your time in the field
  • Grow your career with paid training, paid certification and license fees, and real pathways to advancement within a supportive, skilled team
  • Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including matching 401(k), health, dental, vision, and life insurance, FSA, paid holidays, and paid sick time

  • Company transportation provided — we've got you covered getting to and from project sites

Location: This is a field-based role located in Southern Maryland, with travel to project sites throughout the region and surrounding areas. If you love being out in the field doing hands-on work rather than sitting behind a desk, this is the role for you.

Note: Candidates must have a minimum of 2+ years of hands-on field construction or mechanical installation experience — specifically with petroleum systems, piping, UST/AST equipment, or related environmental construction. This is a firm requirement. Candidates without this background will not be considered.

Job Description

  • Mobilize to project sites throughout Southern Maryland and surrounding regions, arriving prepared with the tools, materials, and equipment needed for the day
  • Install, upgrade, repair, and close underground and aboveground petroleum storage tank systems, including piping, spill and overfill systems, and secondary containment
  • Operate and maintain monitoring systems and fuel management systems in accordance with project specifications
  • Perform general environmental construction tasks including excavation, concrete work, and site preparation
  • Assist foremen and supervisors, supporting the crew to complete tasks efficiently and on schedule
  • Follow all health, safety, and PPE regulations without exception — safety is non-negotiable on our job sites
  • Maintain and properly store all construction equipment and tools at the end of each workday

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of hands-on field construction or mechanical installation experience required
  • Direct experience with petroleum systems: piping, UST/AST installations, spill/overfill/secondary containment systems
  • Knowledge of monitoring systems and fuel management systems
  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and travel to remote project sites as needed
  • Valid driver's license required
  • Must be at least 18 years of age
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
  • Must pass a pre-employment screening and physical
  • OSHA 10 (Construction) or OSHA HAZWOPER certification preferred

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
