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 Fleet Mechanic
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Pull the Fleet Mechanic occupation profile from O*NET and map your degree in automotive technology, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field directly to the posted duties. USCIS adjudicators look for a specific, documented connection between your credential and the role's technical requirements.
Target fleets with regulated compliance obligations
Municipal transit agencies, airline ground-services contractors, and large freight carriers operate under federal safety mandates that push job descriptions toward degree-level diagnostic and systems work, making specialty occupation arguments stronger and H-1B sponsorship more routine for their maintenance engineering roles.
Verify prevailing wage before comparing offers
Run the SOC code for your specific fleet mechanic title through the OFLC Wage Search before evaluating any offer. Your employer's LCA must certify wages at or above the applicable prevailing wage level, and mismatches at this stage delay or invalidate the petition.
Confirm each worksite appears on a certified LCA
If your fleet role covers multiple service yards or dispatch locations, each worksite needs its own certified LCA filed with DOL before you work there. Raise this with your employer's attorney early; adding unlisted worksites mid-petition is a common compliance error in multi-location fleet operations.
Search Migrate Mate for verified sponsoring employers
Filter Fleet Mechanic roles by employers with documented H-1B LCA filing history on Migrate Mate. Focusing on companies that have already filed for this occupation avoids early-stage conversations with employers unfamiliar with the specialty occupation argument and the LCA certification process.
Request premium processing before your start date
Ask your employer to file Form I-907 for premium processing so USCIS adjudicates the I-129 within 15 business days. For fleet roles where operational deadlines are fixed, waiting on standard processing timelines can create gaps between your offer acceptance and your authorized start date.
H-1B Visa Fleet Mechanic: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Fleet Mechanic role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Not automatically. A standard fleet mechanic position is a trade role and does not ordinarily require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. For H-1B sponsorship, the employer must structure the position around degree-level duties in automotive technology, mechanical engineering, or a closely related discipline, and document that requirement in both the job description and the LCA filing.
Which employers commonly sponsor H-1B visas for fleet mechanic roles?
Employers with the strongest sponsorship track record for this occupation include transit authorities, federal contractors managing government vehicle fleets, and large logistics companies with engineering-focused maintenance divisions. Browse verified employers with LCA filing history for fleet and maintenance roles on Migrate Mate to identify companies that have already navigated the specialty occupation process.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer reassigns me to a different depot or worksite?
Each worksite where you perform H-1B work must appear on a separately certified LCA. If your employer moves you to a new depot or service yard not listed on your current LCA, they must file and receive certification for that location before you begin working there. Failing to do this puts both you and your employer out of compliance with DOL requirements.
How long does H-1B status last for a fleet mechanic position?
USCIS grants H-1B status for an initial period of up to three years. Your employer can file an extension that takes your total authorized stay to a six-year maximum. Beyond six years, continued H-1B status typically requires an approved immigrant visa petition or a pending adjustment of status application to reset the clock.
What documents should I prepare before an employer begins the H-1B filing process for a fleet mechanic role?
Gather your academic transcripts and degree certificates in mechanical engineering or automotive technology, a credential evaluation if your degree was earned outside the U.S., any professional licenses relevant to your state, and a detailed work history showing degree-level diagnostic or systems responsibilities. USCIS will scrutinize the connection between your credentials and the specific duties listed in the LCA.
