Overview

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the environment and your community?

This position will serve as the State's Pretreatment Coordinator, leading the department's work with Industrial Dischargers to publicly owned treatment works (POTW) such breweries, dairies, landfills, and other industries to protect Vermont's POTW infrastructure, reduce conventional and toxic pollutant levels discharged by industries, and reserve capacity at POTWs by reducing high strength waste. 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. This position also serves as the Program's Compliance and Enforcement Supervisor, supervising the Program's Compliance and Enforcement Analyst, and coordinating with the program's technical analysts, wastewater NPDES permittees and DEC's Environmental Enforcement Officers to protect Vermont's surface waters.

Overseeing annual sampling of Significant Industrial User permittees.
Establishment of rules to implement Vermont's pretreatment program.
Overseeing investigations of Wastewater Noncompliance Issues
