Job Summary

Join Coast Staffing as an Environmental Remediation Technician.

Coast Staffing is seeking reliable, safety-minded Environmental Remediation Technicians to support contamination, biohazard-remediation, enhanced cleaning, and environmental-response assignments across healthcare, long-term care, retirement, residential, commercial, institutional, and other client sites.

This is not a routine housekeeping or permanent facility-cleaning position.

Assignments are event-based and may involve contamination-control work, IPAC-supportive cleaning, PPE use, documentation, and site-specific remediation tasks.

About the role

As an Environmental Remediation Technician, you will attend approved sites where additional trained support is required because of a specific environmental condition or contamination concern.

Work may include rodent-dropping cleanup, biohazard-remediation support, contaminated-area cleaning, high-touch disinfection, waste or soft-good handling, post-incident cleaning, and IPAC-supportive environmental cleaning in care or congregate settings.

The ideal candidate will possess

Previous experience in remediation, restoration, professional cleaning, healthcare environmental services, facility services, waste handling, pest-contamination cleanup support, or similar work.
Comfort working around odours, waste, soiled materials, pests, disinfectants, and contaminated environments.
Ability to follow written SOPs, checklists, product labels, SDS sheets, IPAC direction, and site-specific instructions.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to safe work practices.
Professional attitude, reliable attendance, and neat appearance.
Ability to work independently while staying within the approved scope of work.
Sound judgment and willingness to stop work or escalate when conditions are unsafe or outside training.
Strong communication skills with Coast supervisors, site contacts, residents, tenants, staff, vendors, and management.
Respect for privacy, confidentiality, and dignity in healthcare, residential, and institutional environments.
Flexibility to work across different site types and respond to short-notice assignments.

Key responsibilities:

Attend assigned sites for approved remediation, contamination-control, enhanced-cleaning, or environmental-response work.
Perform rodent-contamination cleanup, including droppings, urine, nesting material, and related debris, only when trained, equipped, and authorized.
Support biohazard-remediation and biohazard-adjacent cleaning assignments within Coast-approved scope.
Carry out IPAC-supportive environmental cleaning in healthcare, LTC, retirement, shelter, residential, or congregate-care settings where applicable.
Clean and disinfect affected rooms, surfaces, washrooms, storage spaces, utility areas, common areas, or equipment areas as assigned.
Use approved disinfectants, cleaning products, tools, PPE, and disposal methods according to training and site requirements.
Follow required contact times, dilution instructions, SDS requirements, and facility procedures.
Handle contaminated waste, laundry, soft goods, or materials only where assigned and trained.
Document areas attended, work completed, products used, PPE used, exceptions, and escalation concerns.
Report active pests, heavy contamination, sharps, blood or body fluids, mould, sewage, chemical hazards, damaged materials, unsafe air quality, or other concerns.
Coordinate professionally with Coast supervisors, facility managers, IPAC contacts, OHS contacts, pest-control vendors, restoration vendors, or other site representatives.

Work settings may include:

Long-term care homes.
Retirement residences.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities.
Residential buildings.
Shelters or congregate living settings.
Commercial properties.
Institutional facilities.
Offices, storage areas, service areas, or other approved client sites.
Other locations requiring approved rodent-contamination, biohazard-remediation, enhanced-cleaning, or environmental-response support.

Required qualifications:

Legally eligible to work in Canada.
Minimum 18 years of age.
Ability to work in person at assigned sites.
Ability to read and follow SOPs, product labels, SDS sheets, checklists, and site instructions.
Ability to wear required PPE for the assigned task.
Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, kneel, lift, carry, push carts, and work in physically active environments.
Ability to work around odours, waste, pests, disinfectants, soiled materials, and contaminated areas.
Satisfactory criminal record check.
Vulnerable sector check if required by the assignment.
WHMIS certification, or willingness to complete before deployment.
