STEM/Operations

Throughout the course of this track, you will relocate to three Heritage Environmental Services facilities in the U.S. These locations will be determined by leadership to ensure the most appropriate experience during your program duration. The locations include, but are not limited to, Indianapolis, IN, Kansas City, MO, East Liverpool, OH, Benton, AR, Albany, NY, Lemont, IL, and Louisville, KY.

You will learn about each facility’s capabilities and gain valuable experience into our business. For the most well-rounded experience, you will spend time at our service centers and plants, learning from our excellent employees in roles such as plant engineers/scientists and technical/area managers.

At the service centers, you will learn about our technical services offerings supported by traveling teams of chemists that visit our industrial customers each day to pack chemicals for Department of Transportation (DOT) compliant transport and provide environmental assistance (such as RCRA inspections and waste consolidations/profiling). You will also learn from our logistics managers who coordinate the shipments of waste coming in and out of our facilities. In addition, you will learn from our project managers and upper-level management about how our work impacts the economic drivers of our business.

Finally, at our plant facilities, you will learn more about how we accept and process waste. Depending upon your degree, you may work alongside our engineers to assist on capital projects to upgrade existing or install new plant processes. You will also be provided with training in multiple areas within the plant, such as the lab, maintenance, control room, container, bulk storage, and much more!
