• Bachelor of Science in Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Engineering, or similar required.
• IMPORTANT: For positions classified as safety-sensitive, applicants are required to pass a comprehensive drug screening, which includes testing for marijuana, as a condition of employment. While marijuana use may be legal in some states where Nwestco operates, it is important to note that federal regulations and company policies mandate drug testing for all safety-sensitive roles, including those governed by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
