About Alterra
What if all plastics were recycled? Today, less than 10% are. The other 90% are either mismanaged and buried in landfills, sent to incinerators, or end up in our environment as litter polluting our land, rivers, and oceans. At Alterra, we convert plastics back into their original building blocks to produce new plastics and other valuable products. We're disrupting the traditional thinking that used plastic should be discarded and helping people see that plastics are valuable and designed to become new again. That's Alterra…solving plastic pollution through infinitely renewed plastics.
About the Role
The Field Technician is essential to monitoring Alterra's proprietary process for producing ISCC Plus circular oil. You will support safe and efficient plant operations by conducting routine inspections, operating and adjusting equipment in the field, and communicating plant conditions to the Control Board Operator. This role ensures compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards while providing first-line troubleshooting and maintenance support to keep the plant operating reliably.
At Alterra, you're not just taking a job, you're joining a team committed to solving plastic pollution and redefining what's possible for plastics and for the planet. Guided by our values—We Believe, We Listen, We Adapt, We Protect, and We Teach—we work with purpose, curiosity, and conviction to create lasting change. If you're driven by meaningful impact and ready to help build a future where plastics are infinitely renewed, we'd be excited to consider your application.
