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 H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Operations Supervisor
Verify your degree supports specialty occupation
USCIS requires Operations Supervisor roles to demand a specific bachelor's degree, not just any degree. Check the O*NET profile for this occupation and match your credentials to the listed degree fields before applying.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to identify companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for Operations Supervisor roles. Employers with prior filings understand the process and are less likely to withdraw offers mid-sponsorship.
Confirm the role is classified correctly
Some employers post Operations Supervisor jobs under general manager or coordinator titles, which carry different SOC codes. Ask the recruiter which SOC code the LCA will use, since this affects the prevailing wage tier DOL certifies.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified wage, so negotiate with that floor in mind.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Operations roles often have hard operational start dates. Ask your employer to file Form I-129 with premium processing through USCIS, which cuts the adjudication window to 15 business days and protects your onboarding timeline.
Document supervisory scope to preempt RFEs
USCIS frequently issues Requests for Evidence on supervisory titles, questioning whether the role truly requires a specialty degree. Prepare a detailed organizational chart showing direct reports and a job duties breakdown tied to your degree field before your employer files.

Find Operations Supervisor JobsOperations Supervisor H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Operations Supervisor role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines the position. USCIS evaluates whether the specific job duties require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. A generic supervisory role won't qualify, but one tied to supply chain management, industrial engineering, or operations research typically does. The employer's job description and the degree requirement stated in the LCA carry the most weight in USCIS's determination.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most often for Operations Supervisor roles?
Manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, healthcare systems, and technology operations teams file LCAs for this title with regularity. Employers in these sectors have established HR and legal processes for H-1B sponsorship. You can browse verified H-1B sponsoring employers hiring for Operations Supervisor positions directly on Migrate Mate, filtered by industry and location.
What happens to my H-1B status if I get promoted from Operations Supervisor to Operations Manager?
A significant change in job duties, title, or work location requires your employer to file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. A promotion that substantially alters your role is considered a material change. Your employer should also file a new LCA with DOL reflecting the updated title and prevailing wage for the new position.
Can an Operations Supervisor role be H-1B cap-exempt?
Cap-exempt status depends on the employer, not the role. If your employer is a qualifying nonprofit research organization, institution of higher education, or a government research organization, the H-1B petition bypasses the annual lottery entirely. Private-sector employers hiring Operations Supervisors are cap-subject, meaning your petition must be selected in the lottery before USCIS will adjudicate it.
How does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect Operations Supervisor job offers?
DOL requires employers to pay at least the prevailing wage for the occupation and location listed on the LCA. For Operations Supervisor roles, the wage level depends on your experience and the complexity of duties, ranging from Level I to Level IV. Employers who offer below the certified wage risk LCA revocation, so any offer you accept should be at or above the DOL-certified wage for your specific work site.
