ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2023, Republic’s total company revenue was $14.9 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 41,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 4.6 million people in 2023 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services’ strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers’ multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers’ specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION
Republic’s recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. This innovative site processes rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As demand for renewable energy continues to grow, we have 70 landfill gas-to-energy projects in operation and plan to expand our portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Construction Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Align your credentials to U.S. licensing standards
Construction roles in waste management often require state-specific certifications like OSHA 30 or environmental compliance credentials. Get your foreign qualifications evaluated by a NACES-approved agency before applying so Republic Services can assess equivalency without delays.
Target regional infrastructure expansion projects
Republic Services regularly opens construction positions tied to landfill development, transfer station builds, and facility upgrades. Focus your search on regions where they're expanding capacity, as those projects drive the most urgent and sustained construction hiring.
Confirm your visa category matches the role level
H-1B sponsorship for construction typically applies to specialty occupation roles like civil engineering or project management, not general labor. Verify that your target title requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field before assuming H-1B is the right fit.
Ask about TN eligibility if you're Canadian or Mexican
Engineers and certain technical construction professionals from Canada or Mexico may qualify for TN status, which skips the H-1B lottery entirely. Confirm your job title falls under a qualifying TN category with your employer's immigration counsel before the offer stage.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open construction roles by sponsorship type
Not every Republic Services construction posting gets visa sponsorship. Browse Republic Services' open construction positions filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate so you only invest time in roles where sponsorship is actively on the table.
Build your PERM timeline into your offer negotiation
If Republic Services pursues a Green Card through PERM for your construction role, DOL recruitment requirements can add 12 to 18 months before your I-140 petition is even filed. Raise the permanent residency pathway early in offer discussions so both sides plan around it.

Find Construction at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Construction roles?
Yes, Republic Services sponsors H-1B visas for construction roles that qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS guidelines. This generally means roles like civil engineer, environmental engineer, or project manager that require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. General labor or trade-level construction positions typically do not meet the H-1B specialty occupation threshold, so confirm your target title qualifies before applying.
How do I apply for Construction jobs at Republic Services?
Start by searching Republic Services' careers site and filtering for construction-related titles in your target region. You can also browse their open construction roles on Migrate Mate, which flags which positions are open to visa sponsorship. When you apply, tailor your resume to highlight environmental infrastructure or waste facility construction experience, as that background maps directly to Republic Services' project pipeline and accelerates recruiter review.
Which visa types are commonly used for Construction roles at Republic Services?
H-1B is the most common visa for specialty construction roles like civil or environmental engineering. F-1 OPT and CPT are options for recent graduates in engineering or construction management programs. TN visas are available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles. For longer-term employment, Republic Services has also pursued EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship for construction professionals in skilled technical positions.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for sponsored Construction positions?
For sponsored roles, Republic Services typically looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or construction management, along with relevant field experience. For H-1B purposes, your degree must align directly with the job duties under USCIS specialty occupation standards. Practical experience with environmental compliance, landfill construction methods, or heavy infrastructure projects strengthens your application significantly in this industry.
How do I handle the timing between my visa status and a Republic Services construction offer?
If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your OPT expiration date relative to Republic Services' expected H-1B filing window. H-1B petitions are typically filed in April for an October 1 start, so a gap between OPT expiry and October can create authorized leave periods. If you're in a 60-day grace period, that window is tight. Discuss timeline constraints openly with the hiring team early so they can coordinate with their immigration counsel.
