About the role

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (P.V.S.C.), a publicly-owned wastewater treatment facility located in Newark, New Jersey, is currently accepting applications for an Analytical Chemistry Intern. Created in 1902, PVSC is the 5th largest facility of its kind in the United States, directly serving approximately 1.4 million residents in 48 municipalities located in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union Counties. The 140-acre plant is designed to treat an average of 330 million gallons per day (“mgd”) of wastewater with an annual average flow of approximately 241 mgd.

Position Summary: The PVSC Analytical Lab is certified in many parameters with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP); BOD, CBOD, COD, TSS, Ammonia, Cyanide, Oil and Grease, all metals and many others. Samples are analyzed daily from the PVSC plant process as well as industrial monitoring samples, liquid waste acceptance and harbor study river waters. On average about 10,000 samples a month are analyzed for multiple parameters. The Intern will work with the samples from the chain of custody to proper disposal. He or she will learn the operation of LIMS and report writing.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
