employment or training options

[vjgrubbs]

I need advice, I worked for 13 yrs at a hazardous waste clean up site near Cincinnati, Ohio. The site is now closed. I worked as a hazardous waste tech and a chemical operator/ controlroom operator. I am taking classes at a local college for environmental engineering, but I would like to find something more specific to a job field. I am interested in rad tech training or an operators license but I do not know where to find them? Maybe an apprenticeship or operator in training position? I have alot of DOE training in hazardous waste removal and shipping. I also received a chemical operator certificate from DOE and Fluor Daniels Fernald, but we processed hazardous waste not nuclear operations? I cant find much of a job market in hazardous waste? Any help, advice or suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Check www.fedjobs.gov , there are sometimes openings in Anniston, AL along the lines of what you did. Also, if you run certain keyword in the search box of fedjobs.gov there are lots of other interesting related positions

Yah check there and there is also a plant in several other states that process haz waste.  I worked on Johnston Atoll for about 6 months incinerating chemical weapons.  Cool job but to far from home for me, but they have opened several sites in the US to do the same kinda work.  Check out chemical weapons demil on google and they should bring up a list.  Good luck.
