About the role

At OCA Global, our purpose is clear: to work every day to build a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable world. To achieve this, we need people who not only master the regulations but also feel the responsibility of being a driving force for change.

We are looking for a Technician responsible for the Waste area to lead and consolidate the new Waste Control Entity (EC-RES) in Catalonia, from our offices in Sant Cugat del Vallès. This is a newly created role born from the growth of our Environment line; here you are not coming to follow a pre-marked path, but to build it with the backing of a consolidated group while keeping the agility, freshness, and flat structure that define us.

What you'll do

Instead of a monotonous list of tasks, these will be your main missions in the project:

  • Team coordination: Lead, plan, and supervise the department's fieldwork, supporting and training the more junior technicians.

  • Waste sampling: Carry out sampling of different types of waste (solid, liquid, and pasty) to classify its hazardousness and determine how it should be managed.

  • Environmental control in landfills: Carry out sampling of water (groundwater and surface) and leachate at controlled sites.

  • Field measurements: Perform analyses and checks directly in the field (such as measuring temperature, pH, or well water levels) ensuring the reliability of the data.

  • Equipment and quality management: Ensure the proper use and maintenance of measuring equipment, draft the meeting minutes and reports for each visit, and guarantee that samples are preserved and transported to the laboratory under optimal conditions.

How you'll work

We understand that giving your best at work requires a real balance with your personal life. That is why we have a schedule designed for well-being:

  • General Schedule (Monday to Thursday): from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM (with mutually agreed flexibility based on service needs).

  • Fridays on wheels: Every Friday of the year we have a intensive workday from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, allowing you to switch off much earlier.

  • Summer and holiday balance: You will enjoy an intensive workday (from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM) for the entire month of July, the entire month of August, and on all public holiday eves.

  • Total disconnection days: December 24 and 31 are completely free for our entire team, so you can enjoy them with your loved ones without using your vacation days.

About the company & team

  • Real space to undertake: You will be part of a flat and dynamic structure where decision-making is quick and not bureaucratized. We believe in empowerment and will give you the freedom to manage your department.

  • Team culture and continuous learning: You will join a young, energetic, and highly motivated team. We work at an intense and exciting pace ("rock & roll"), but always supporting each other; you will be surrounded by excellent professionals with whom to perfect your role day by day.

  • Stability and career growth: As a newly created position in a company in full international expansion, medium- and long-term development opportunities are real and tangible.

What would we like to see in your profile?

We do not understand requirements as barriers, but as the tools and knowledge you will need to succeed in your role from day one:

  • Essential accreditation/experience: Being an already authorized technician in the waste sector (MOS and/or MOS-DC).

  • Education: Minimum qualification as a Technician (Intermediate Vocational Training Cycle - CFGM). A Higher Vocational Training Cycle (CFGS) or a university degree in the scientific/technical field will be highly valued.

  • Nice to have: Accredited EC-RES technician by OA

  • Experience in the Sector (>1 year): Proven experience in inspection, environmental consulting, or waste management within the territorial scope of Catalonia. We need you to know the terrain, the stakeholders involved, and the specific procedures of the Catalan market.

  • Knowledge of the Catalan Regulatory Framework: Mastery of the decrees and resolutions that regulate Control Entities in Catalonia (EC-RES). This is essential, since your technical decisions and reports must be strictly aligned with the requirements of the administration.

  • Institutional Relations Skills and Autonomy: Ability to liaise with administration technicians and plant managers. You will enjoy a high degree of freedom to organize your work and make decisions, so proactive resilience and a problem-solving mindset will be your greatest assets.
