Vermont is one of five states in the nation to serve as the control authority for wastewater industrial pretreatment, making this a unique opportunity for qualified applicants.

Field work may involve exposure to chemicals, gases, hazardousliquid and solid waste, and construction sites during all weather conditions; and may involve traversing rough terrain and bodies of water. Some work outside of regular working hours, including attendance at public meetings, may be required. Strong differences of opinion may be encountered on a regular basis.
