About This Role

Crusoe is seeking an Environmental Specialist to join our growing Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team. In this role, you will focus on executing multi-media environmental compliance programs, with a primary emphasis on waste management, Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) planning, stormwater management, and above ground storage tanks (ASTs). This position is ideal for an early- to mid-career professional looking to build deep operational expertise across multiple environmental program areas while contributing to a fast-moving, collaborative team that supports field operations and data center development across multiple states.

Working closely with senior environmental staff and key internal stakeholders, you will ensure our compliance obligations are accurately identified, tracked, and met. You will play a crucial role in maintaining Crusoe’s environmental integrity as we scale our sustainable digital infrastructure. This is a full‑time position.

Support day-to-day hazardous and non-hazardous waste program management, including conducting waste characterizations, coordinating with logistics vendors, managing manifests, and ensuring robust regulatory recordkeeping. Perform generator status determinations and RCRA compliance reviews at operating field sites.

Help maintain and update Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans for sites utilizing above ground storage tanks (ASTs). Track routine inspection schedules, support plan amendments as new facilities come online, coordinate with operations teams on spill prevention practices, and support Professional Engineer (PE) certification processes.
