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 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 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 42,000 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 5.1 million people in 2024 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. These innovative sites process 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.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Field Technician
Verify your degree matches the SOC code
USCIS scrutinizes Field Technician petitions closely because the role's specialty occupation status isn't automatic. Pull the O*NET profile for your specific SOC code and confirm your degree field directly aligns before applying anywhere.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing history
Hospitals, universities, and nonprofit research institutions can file H-1B petitions year-round without lottery exposure. Search Migrate Mate's employer database to filter Field Technician roles by verified cap-exempt sponsors, cutting your wait time significantly.
Request the LCA before accepting any offer
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before submitting your I-129. Ask prospective employers whether their LCA is already certified for your work location and wage level, uncertified LCAs delay everything.
Document field certifications as specialty occupation evidence
USCIS RFEs on Field Technician petitions often challenge whether the role genuinely requires a degree. Collect job postings, internal org charts, and industry certification requirements showing that a technical bachelor's degree is standard for the position.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before your offer letter
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location before salary negotiations. Employers who offer below Wage Level II for a technical role risk DOL audits that can unwind your petition after filing.
Use the 60-day grace period strategically between roles
If your current H-1B employment ends, USCIS allows a 60-day grace period to secure a new sponsor. File your H-1B transfer with cap-gap protection in place before that window closes, not after you've already stopped working.
H-1B Visa Field Technician: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Field Technician role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. USCIS requires that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. Field Technician positions tied to electrical engineering, telecommunications systems, or industrial instrumentation typically qualify. Roles where any technical background is acceptable, regardless of degree field, face higher denial risk and often trigger a Request for Evidence.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most consistently for Field Technicians?
Utilities, telecommunications carriers, defense contractors, and medical equipment companies file LCAs for Field Technician roles with the greatest frequency. These industries rely on degree-specific technical knowledge and are accustomed to the H-1B process. You can browse employers with verified H-1B filing history for Field Technician positions directly on Migrate Mate, filtered by industry and location.
Can my employer file an H-1B petition if my Field Technician work is at multiple client sites?
Yes, but the employer must file a separate LCA for each worksite location where you'll spend more than five consecutive workdays. This is called the multiple-worksite rule under DOL regulations. If your role involves traveling to different client sites regularly, confirm your employer understands this requirement before the petition is filed, since an LCA that covers only one location won't protect you legally at others.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Field Technician project ends before my visa expires?
USCIS grants a 60-day grace period after involuntary termination, during which you can find a new H-1B sponsor and file a transfer. Your new employer's attorney files an I-129 petition to transfer your status. You can continue working for the new employer once the transfer receipt is issued, not just after approval, under H-1B portability rules under AC21.
Do Field Technician employers need to be E-Verify enrolled to sponsor an H-1B?
E-Verify enrollment isn't required solely because an employer sponsors H-1B visas. However, federal contractors and employers subject to state E-Verify mandates must participate. If you're offered a Field Technician role with a federal contractor, confirm the employer is E-Verify enrolled before your petition is filed, since non-compliance can affect the entire sponsorship.
