Job Description:
Overview
At ADS, no idea is off limits, and we celebrate creativity and bold
moves. For more than 50 years ADS has been manufacturing a variety
of innovative and environmentally friendly alternatives to
traditional materials. Headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio, we are a
multi-billion dollar stormwater management company, manufacturing
pipe and ancillary products. What does that mean? When it storms,
we capture rain with our drain basins, convey it with pipe, store
it using chambers and finally treat it with our water quality
products, before safely returning water back to the environment. We
handle, what we call, the entire lifecycle of a raindrop. Our
products help prevent flooding, which increases quality of life for
people living in large cities, suburbs, and rural towns. We also
believe in creating a circular economy and are the second largest
plastic recycling company in North America. We use plastic shampoo
and detergent bottles to create pipe, diverting over 500 million
pounds of plastic from landfills every year. ADS operates a global
network of over 60 manufacturing plants and 30 distribution
centers.
We have amazing stories to tell, and we need your help getting our
story out there. To learn more about ADS, please visit our website
