Ready to Get Paid What You're Worth?

If you've been running wastewater treatment systems for a municipality or government facility and you know your work is worth more than your current paycheck - this is your next move.

We're placing a Level D Physical/Chemical Operator with a private environmental services company in Greenwood, SC. This is a direct hire role - meaning you go straight onto their payroll with full stability, no temp period, and no middleman. Multiple shifts are available, and if you're open to any shift, you move to the front of the line.

What You'll Actually Do

This isn't a desk job. You'll own your section of the plant and be trusted to keep things running right. Day to day, that means:

• Operating and monitoring physical/chemical wastewater treatment systems within permit limits
• Working with pH adjustment, coagulation, flocculation, clarification, and chemical feed systems
• Running routine sampling, inspections, and preventative maintenance
• Watching your gauges, pumps, motors, and equipment like you know what matters
• Keeping accurate logs and compliance documentation
• Troubleshooting operational issues before they become problems
• Working alongside a team that takes safety and quality seriously

Who Thrives Here

You've worked in wastewater, probably for a government or municipal facility, and you're good at it. You understand the processes, you have your Level D SC Physical/Chemical license, and you're tired of watching private sector operators take home bigger checks for the same work.

You don't need someone standing over your shoulder. You show up, you do the job, and you take pride in keeping operations compliant and clean.

Required:

• SC Level D Physical/Chemical Operator License
• Mechanical aptitude and solid understanding of wastewater treatment basics
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Basic computer skills for reporting and documentation
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs. and work in an industrial environment

Bonus Points For:

• Hands-on experience with pumps, motors, valves, or chemical feed systems
• Familiarity with environmental compliance and safety procedures
• Any prior industrial wastewater experience outside of municipal work

The Details

• Shifts: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd available - open availability preferred
• Pay: $23.00+/hour depending on experience
• Placement type: Direct hire - you're on the clients team/payroll from day one

Why Make the Move?

This company is known for a culture that respects the people doing the hands-on work. You'll have room to grow technically, a team that supports you, and the satisfaction of working for an organization that genuinely cares about environmental responsibility and not only just the important compliance checkboxes.

Private sector wastewater operations move faster and can pay better. If you've been sitting on your license and your experience waiting for the right opening, this is it.
