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 Project Program Manager Jobs at Republic Services
Frame credentials around infrastructure project delivery
Republic Services runs large-scale facility builds, fleet transitions, and landfill development programs. Tailor your resume to show end-to-end capital project experience, not just coordination, since their PMO roles carry direct accountability for scope, budget, and regulatory milestones.
Target divisions with active capital programs
Republic Services organizes hiring regionally, and divisions undergoing fleet electrification or transfer station upgrades tend to post more program management roles. Search by region and filter for postings that reference environmental compliance or capital expenditure to find the most sponsorship-active openings.
Clarify your OPT or TN status early in screening
If you're on F-1 OPT or a TN visa, Republic Services can hire you without an H-1B cap slot immediately. Confirm your current authorization upfront so recruiters route you correctly and don't flag your file as a deferred-start sponsorship case before an offer is even extended.
Use Migrate Mate to surface open roles by sponsorship type
Republic Services posts Project Program Manager roles across multiple divisions simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for openings at Republic Services that align with your visa category, so you're applying to positions where sponsorship for your status has already been confirmed.
Understand where PERM fits your Green Card timeline
For EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, Republic Services must complete a DOL PERM labor market test before filing your immigrant petition. That process takes six to twelve months before USCIS even receives the I-140, so start that conversation with HR during offer negotiation, not after your first year.
Align your PMP or equivalent credential before the offer stage
Republic Services Program Manager postings frequently list PMP certification or an equivalent as a requirement, not a preference. Having it before you enter final-round interviews removes a common condition employers attach to offers, which can delay the start date and compress your authorization window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Project Program Managers?
Yes, Republic Services sponsors H-1B visas for Project Program Manager roles. Program and project management in waste management infrastructure qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, typically requiring a bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or a related field. Sponsorship is handled through the standard H-1B cap process, with the employer filing the petition after an offer is extended.
How do I apply for Project Program Manager jobs at Republic Services?
Applications go through Republic Services' careers portal, where roles are listed by division and region. You can also browse open Project Program Manager positions at Republic Services filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate, which surfaces current openings alongside sponsorship type. Tailoring your application to the specific operational scope listed in the posting significantly improves your chances of moving to a recruiter screen.
Which visa types are commonly used for Project Program Manager roles at Republic Services?
Republic Services sponsors H-1B visas for ongoing specialty occupation employment and supports F-1 OPT and CPT for candidates still within their authorized training period. TN visas are available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management or engineering classifications. For longer-term immigration, Republic Services has supported EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process for program management functions.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for Project Program Manager roles?
Republic Services typically expects a bachelor's degree in engineering, environmental science, business, or a related discipline, along with direct experience managing multi-site or capital-intensive projects. PMP certification is frequently listed as a requirement rather than a preference. Experience in regulated industries, particularly those involving environmental compliance, facility operations, or infrastructure development, strengthens your application considerably for their PMO functions.
How do I time my application around the H-1B cap and my current visa status?
The H-1B cap opens for registration each March, with approved petitions taking effect October 1. If you're currently on F-1 OPT, your employer can file during an active OPT period and bridge you through a timely-filed extension if your OPT expires before October. Starting your job search by January gives you enough runway to receive an offer, complete USCIS registration, and file a complete petition before the April 1 filing window closes.
