EHS Technician

Overview

Seneca Resources is hiring an EHS Technician to provide hands-on, boots-on-the-ground Environmental Health & Safety support at a clean, modern manufacturing/warehouse hub in Richmond, VA

This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-ownership, independent role
