Field Technicians perform their work in varying environments, including all weather conditions. They work indoors and outdoors, occasionally at great heights or in confined spaces and in temperatures that are sometimes very hot or cold.
Field Technicians help maintain Handex quality standards by identifying any current or potential problems on the job site, then taking the steps needed to resolve or prevent them.

Hiring the Right Field Technician
When Handex seeks Field Technicians to join the team, we look for individuals who want to be a part of the work we do, and who are interested in performing work with different project tasks on varying job sites. We look for an excellent work ethic, great communication skills and a team-player attitude.
As most of the work we complete requires different licenses and/or certifications, we also seek candidates who have licenses and/or certificates applicable to the industry, such as the 40 Hour OSHA HAZWOPER Certificate and TWIC card.
For work experience, while knowledge of and experience in environmental remediation work is helpful, it is often not a requirement, and the Handex team will provide training as needed. This is an industry Handex has been associated with for over 40 years, and we welcome the opportunity to introduce this exciting industry to new individuals!
We know our success depends on hiring, mentoring and retaining highly motivated people.
