Integrated waste collection, transfer, and recycling across North America
Waste Connections operates a large-scale solid waste and recycling network across the U.S. and Canada with 10,000+ employees. The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward operations and logistics roles (85% of active openings), with junior-level staff dominating the workforce — a structure typical of capital-intensive, geographically distributed service networks. Pain points cluster around operational reliability (downtime, missed pickups, driver safety) and compliance (environmental, safety, landfill), which explain the active projects around equipment utilization, waste stream analysis, and landfill audits.
