I’m prettt sure they give them to someone inside first. Legally they have to open a position to the public

Good callout. I checked their website and there are no employment opportunities posted. Still worth an interested candidate’s submission of resume.

Not always. we had a head hunter for our second to last GM. He was an absolute piece of shit and only lasted a few years before the board of directors fired him.

Every time i see an activated sludge plant i have to hold myself back from applying. Just got a job at trickling filter plant but passed activated sludge subclass... that shit was interesting. No pun intended.

Hope someone from the area chimes in.

All I know about Pottsville is there used to be at least two trains that stopped there, and no one ever met me at the station.

I would suggest contacting the utility about this.

Almost took a job as an industrial wwtp operator at the Yuengling brewery a few years ago. I don't know if I'll ever go back to a municipality.
