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).

Search Field Engineer Jobs in AlaskaField Engineer Jobs in Alaska: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for field engineers in Alaska?
The most active sponsors for field engineer roles in Alaska are energy and engineering firms operating in the state's extractive industries. Companies including ConocoPhillips, BP, Hilcorp, Bechtel, and CH2M (now Jacobs) have filed H-1B visa Labor Condition Applications for engineering roles in Alaska. Defense contractors supporting facilities at Fort Wainwright and Elmendorf-Richardson also sponsor field engineering positions on a project basis.
Which visa types are most common for field engineer roles in Alaska?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for field engineers in Alaska, provided the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering disciplines. Employers in oil, gas, and mining may also use H-2B visa for temporary technical roles, though field engineer positions with degree requirements typically align with H-1B.
Which cities in Alaska have the most field engineer sponsorship jobs?
Anchorage accounts for the largest share of field engineer sponsorship activity in Alaska, hosting corporate offices for energy, mining, and engineering firms. Fairbanks is a secondary hub, with proximity to Interior Alaska resource projects and the University of Alaska Fairbanks engineering pipeline. North Slope Borough sites, including Prudhoe Bay, generate significant demand for field engineers, though those positions are often coordinated through Anchorage-based employers.
How to find field engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Alaska?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find field engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Alaska, with listings filtered specifically for roles where employers have a documented history of sponsoring work visas. Because Alaska's field engineering market is concentrated in energy, mining, and infrastructure, filtering by those sectors on Migrate Mate helps narrow to the employers most likely to support H-1B or TN applications for technical candidates.
What should field engineers know about working in Alaska before pursuing sponsorship?
Alaska's prevailing wage determinations for field engineers reflect the state's remote operating conditions and are set by the Department of Labor at levels that account for the regional labor market, which can differ meaningfully from the contiguous U.S. Many field engineer roles require extended rotational schedules on remote sites, particularly on the North Slope. Employers typically expect candidates to hold a relevant engineering degree, and professional engineer licensure in Alaska may be required for certain project roles.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored field engineer jobs in Alaska?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
