Job Description

Help Create a Safe and Healthy Hokie Experience:

As an Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Technician, you'll play an important role in creating safe, healthy, and comfortable living and dining environments for thousands of Virginia Tech students. Every day, your work helps ensure students have a safe and healthy place to live, study, and build lifelong memories.

This is a hands-on position that offers a unique combination of environmental health, industrial hygiene, fire and life safety, pest management, and wildlife management responsibilities. No two days are exactly alike. One day you may be performing pest control treatments, the next conducting a mold assessment, inspecting fire safety equipment, or helping investigate an indoor air quality concern.

If you enjoy solving problems, working independently, learning new skills, and making a meaningful impact, this position offers an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career in environmental health and safety.

We understand that few candidates will have experience in every aspect of this position. We are looking for someone who is dependable, motivated, willing to learn, and committed to providing outstanding customer service. Comprehensive training, mentoring, and professional development will be provided to help you become successful in each area of responsibility.

What You'll Do:

As an EHS Technician, you will support environmental health and safety programs across Virginia Tech residence halls and dining facilities

Professional Development:

Virginia Tech is committed to investing in your professional growth. Over your first three years, you'll receive training and support to obtain industry-recognized certifications that will expand your knowledge and advance your career.

Expected certifications include:

Registered Technician Pesticide Applicator
Commercial Pesticide Applicator
Virginia Licensed Asbestos Inspector
Virginia Licensed Lead Inspector
Virginia Wildlife Control Operator (WCO)
Certified Nuisance Animal Professional (CNAP)

The general progression is:

Year 1

Registered Technician Pesticide Applicator Certification

Year 2

Virginia Asbestos Inspector License
Virginia Lead Inspector Certification

Year 3

Commercial Pesticide Applicator Certification

Training timelines may be adjusted based on operational needs and certification availability.
