Four-Day Workweek. Private Sector Pay. Real Impact.
Youve put in the work. You know wastewater treatment inside and out. Now imagine finishing your workweek by Thursday afternoon and bringing home $28 an hour or more.
Were placing an experienced Level B Physical/Chemical Operator with a private environmental services company in NE Columbia, SC. This is a direct hire position no temp-to-perm runway, no waiting. You join their team from day one.

Independently adjusting equipment and chemical feed systems to get the best performance
Performing routine sampling, testing, and process monitoring to hit compliance targets

Using Service Fusion or similar platforms for accurate operational data
The Operator This Role Is Built For
You hold a South Carolina Level B Physical/Chemical Operator License (or higher) and you have at least a year of real operational experience under your belt. Youve probably spent that time in a government or municipal setting and you know you can do more with a team that moves faster and rewards performance.
You can troubleshoot independently. You dont need to be told twice. And youre ready for a company that trusts you to run your section of the plant the right way.
Required:
SC Level B Physical/Chemical Operator License or higher
1+ year of wastewater operations experience
Strong grasp of physical/chemical treatment processes
Ability to troubleshoot independently
Basic Microsoft Office and reporting system skills

What the Private Sector Gives You That Government Work Doesnt
Faster decisions. A leaner team that values your input. A schedule that gives you three-day weekends every week. Pay that reflects what an experienced, licensed operator brings to the table along with growth opportunities.
This company invests in the people doing the work. If youre ready to put your license and experience to use somewhere that rewards it, apply now.
