Recruitment

General Recruiting

The typical Covanta Energy facility-based employee joins early in his or her career and stays on for many years. In building and maintaining our workforce, we are guided by our talent-management strategy and the overall vision and direction of the Company.

College Recruiting/Internships/CO-OP Programs

We regularly visit university and college campuses near our North American operations. Covanta Energy representatives attend various collegiate campus events in our operating areas to discuss student intern opportunities and new graduate employment opportunities along with the many benefits of joining our organization.

Diversity and Inclusion

By building relationships that value diversity and inclusion, we foster a work community that opens minds and opportunities for a fully engaged and high performing team. At Covanta Energy, you will also find that because our hiring is always locally based, our workforce reflects the ethnic diversity of the neighborhoods and communities in which our facilities are located.  In addition, we continuously focus our efforts on attracting and retaining qualified female applicants because the physical nature of the work should not be a barrier to entry for women in our business. We believe that valuing differences makes us stronger and more competitive.
