Description
Rather than looking at our production systems as one way and linear, we can redesign them to be cyclical, as in nature, where there is no such thing as "waste" and materials are kept in the production cycle. Zero Waste is emerging as a paradigm shift, a new, comprehensive socio-technical system that addresses our resource use from product design to disposal.
Position Overview:
Eco-Cycle is hiring a seasonal, part-time Zero Waste Event Coordinator to work mainly on weekends at Zero Waste events throughout Boulder County. The Event Assistant will work under the supervision of the Event Coordinator and with volunteers and vendors to assist guests at Zero Waste events.
Responsibilities:
Duties include loading, driving and unloading the events truck, setting-up and breaking-down Zero Waste Stations and event equipment, preventing contamination of the recycling and compost bins and working closely with other Zero Waste event staff. Staffers will work almost exclusively on weekends (Friday-Monday) and holidays. Hours will vary - minimum of 10 hours/week and maximum of 30 hrs/week.
Qualifications:
Qualified candidates will possess the ability to handle stressful situations and solve problems, management skills and an outgoing personality. Physical labor and long hours are required.
To Apply:
E-mail resume and cover letter by March 31, 2010. No calls please.
