Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection - Energy and Environmental Protection Division Director
Job Summary:
This position offers an opportunity to help shape the management of materials in Connecticut for the future. This is a critical time in Connecticut's waste management system as one of the state’s largest waste to energy facilities ceased operations in 2022 and regional landfill capacity is forecasted to decline by 40% in the next few years. With fewer and rapidly aging disposal options in state, municipalities are increasingly relying on out of state landfills to manage their municipal solid waste and are experiencing significant increases in disposal costs, which are expected to continue to increase absent systemic changes.
Application Deadline: February 10th, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET
