MOU status: DoD MOU current through May 20, 2027.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

About Clean Harbors

Clean Harbors is a provider of environmental, energy, and industrial services throughout North America. The company operates across service lines that include hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, technical services, emergency response, industrial and field services, recycling, and waste disposal. Its Safety-Kleen subsidiary focuses on used oil and cleaning solvent recycling through closed-loop solutions. Clean Harbors holds a 24-hour emergency response capability and works across a range of industries including government, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and energy.

Through its DoD SkillBridge programs, Clean Harbors places transitioning service members at 41 locations across 26 states. Two primary program tracks are available. The Environmental Field Specialist track places participants in on-the-job training alongside Field Service Technician and Foreman roles, with work that includes hazardous waste cleanup, site remediation, equipment decontamination, and handling of hazardous materials. Participants complete 24-hour or 40-hour HAZWOPER certification and RCRA training, operate light and heavy equipment, and rotate through multiple service divisions to understand the company's waste management technologies, including landfill, incineration, fuel blending, and wastewater treatment.

The Internship Program track covers a broader set of roles, including Heavy Equipment Operator, Field Service Technician, Electrical and Instrumentation Specialist, Clean Pack Chemist, and Facility or Vehicle Maintenance positions. Candidates work with a talent manager to identify placement based on their background. Service members with experience in bioenvironmental fields, logistics, or hazardous materials handling are identified in the program data as having applicable backgrounds. Both tracks are conducted in person, and either may lead to a full-time offer upon completion.
