What does an environmental staffing agency do?
An environmental staffing agency sources the engineers, scientists and licensed operators who keep a site, a plant or a utility inside its permits. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than as project contractors. Verification here is unusually load-bearing: 40-hour HAZWOPER training is required under 29 CFR 1910.120 before hazardous-waste site work and lapses without an annual refresher, PE licences are state-issued through the engineering board, and water and wastewater operator licences are graded by the state environmental agency. We check all three at source. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire only.
Need a permanent environmental team instead of project-by-project contractors?
Contract environmental staffing makes sense for a discrete remediation scope and stops making sense the moment compliance becomes continuous. Permit conditions, monitoring schedules and agency relationships are institutional knowledge, and an inspector who meets a different consultant every visit notices. A permanent, HAZWOPER-current hire is a one-time fee and keeps your permit history in one place.

Credential Verification
Every Licence & Cert Verified Before Delivery
Unverified candidates never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
40-hour HAZWOPER, and its refresher
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 requires 40-hour HAZWOPER training before hazardous-waste site work, plus an 8-hour annual refresher that lapses quietly. We confirm the initial course and the most recent refresher with the training provider, because an expired refresher keeps a technician off the site as surely as no training at all.
PE licences via the state board
Environmental engineering work that gets stamped requires a Professional Engineer licence issued by the state engineering board through the NCEES process. We confirm active status, discipline and the states of licensure, since a PE licensed in one state cannot stamp in another without comity.
Water and wastewater operator grades
Operator licences are issued by the state environmental agency in grades, and a plant may only be run by an operator of the right grade for its class. We confirm the grade and the issuing state, not merely that a licence exists, and note reciprocity where a candidate is relocating.
Asbestos, lead and specialist disciplines
Asbestos inspector, management planner and abatement disciplines, along with EPA RRP lead-safe certification, are separate credentials with their own state accreditation. We check each discipline claimed rather than treating 'environmental' as one qualification.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed environmental services professional leaves or is terminated within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Available on both RPO and Direct Hire models.
Employer Value
What an Open Environmental Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled environmental seat means monitoring deadlines slip, permit renewals run late, and a finding becomes a notice of violation. Here is what the delay costs and how we shorten it.
A verified 3-5 shortlist lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, with HAZWOPER currency and licence status attached.
Initial training and the annual refresher are both confirmed with the provider, so nobody arrives on a hazardous-waste site unable to work it.
Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous environmental hiring.
If a placed environmental professional leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.
