Zero-Waste Event Team Leader, Tufts Office of Sustainability (Medford, MA)

August 3, 2017 / / 28 Comments

Become a team leader! Workers are needed for orientation week as well as the academic year. Zero-Waste Event Team Leaders are responsible for managing a team of student waste station monitors at Zero-Waste Events. This involves ensuring all materials are set-up appropriately before the event, orienting scheduled workers to their job duties, trouble-shooting any issues, collecting data, making sure waste and associated materials are disposed of properly at the end of the event, and writing up a short event report. The team leader is expected to also work at the waste stations. Meals for each event will be provided! People are strongly desired to work orientation week (August 28-Sept 1) – this would be about 6-8 hrs/day for 5 days. The position is also available for the 2017-2018 academic year (work would be sporadic, dependent on the number of events scheduled, and could involve some evening or weekend work). Submit a COVER LETTER and Resume to apply. Applications without cover letters will not be considered.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Good organizational skills.
  • Reliable, with good time management skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 30 pounds and willingness to get dirty.
  • Prefers hands-on work rather than desk work.
  • Experience leading/managing others, peer leadership.
  • Some interest in waste reduction and sustainability.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of sustainability efforts at Tufts.
