Environmental Technician

Safe care starts with a safe place to receive it. You will keep clinical and support spaces free of preventable environmental risk so clinicians can focus on patients and every person on site can trust the air, water, waste streams, and work areas around them. This role matters because a missed hazard, a late sample, or an unclear finding can interrupt care. Your judgment and follow-through keep that from happening.

Performance Objectives

• Inspect assigned buildings and document conditions so hazards are identified, prioritized, and corrected before they affect care or operations.
• Collect and log air, water, and surface samples; flag out-of-range results; and drive corrective action to closure within required timelines.
• Run hazardous, chemical, and regulated medical waste controls so storage, labeling, transport, and disposal stay compliant and auditable.
• Contain spills and indoor environmental complaints, communicate status clearly, and verify the area is safe to return to use.
• Coach frontline staff on safe handling and reporting so recurring issues decline and near misses are reported early.
• Maintain inspection, permit, and corrective-action records so leaders can see open risk, trends, and what has been fixed.
• Partner with infection prevention, facilities, and safety to reduce environmental risk in patient care and support areas.

Environment & Resources

You will work across clinical and support buildings with facilities, safety, and infection prevention. You report to the environmental or safety lead, use approved sampling instruments, PPE, and an established tracking system, and follow written procedures and response protocols. Work is mostly on site, with scheduled rounds and occasional urgent response.

Essential Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with environmental inspections, sampling, or waste management in healthcare, laboratory, or comparable regulated settings.
• Working knowledge of OSHA, EPA, and healthcare environmental requirements relevant to waste, chemicals, and indoor environmental quality.
• Ability to write clear findings, risk rankings, and corrective-action plans that others can act on.
• Skill with monitoring instruments and basic data tracking, including spotting and escalating abnormal results.
• Proven ability to train non-specialists and coordinate fixes across facilities and clinical teams.
• Ability to walk large facilities, carry sampling equipment, and respond promptly to incidents while following safety rules.

Role Selling Points

• Technical work with a direct line to patient, staff, and visitor safety.
• A stable public-service mission with clear standards, not shifting commercial targets.
• Real partnership with clinical and facilities teams, not isolated compliance paperwork.
• Tools, procedures, and training that let you do hazardous work safely and document it well.
