Oranjestad- St. Eustatius Waste Management N.V. has started to advertise various positions for the new waste management facility on the island. The company at present is recruiting candidates for the positions of Waste Collector, Waste Sorter, Waste Plant Supervisor, Administrative Clerk and Truck Drivers.

The starting up of the Waste Plant has become even more urgent after the recent downpour and subsequent overflowing of the landfill, which lead to heavy criticism both locally and in Holland. In a recent interview, former commissioner Astrid Mc. Kenzie-Tatem had stated that the criticism was not justified as the Executive Council had already done important groundwork for the start of the Waste Management facility. Mc. Kenzie-Tatem, among other things, explained that two local companies were given the contract to collectively operate the facility.

Applicants interested in the vacant positions should submit their application before December 31, 2016 to Ms. Marelva Lewis, HR manager EJL Service BV, email: m.lewis@ejlservice.com
