About The Position

Maryland Environmental Service is hiring a full-time Environmental Dredging Technician (EDT) or Senior Environmental Dredging Technician (SEDT) at the Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility in northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The EDT role requires a high school diploma or GED and two years of experience in operations monitoring or environmental inspection. The SEDT role requires a high school diploma or GED and three years of that experience, and may include direct oversight of other employees.

The EDT assists with field-data recordkeeping, report preparation, site inspections, operation of sampling boats and vehicles, assignment of daily tasks to staff, and compliance with project water-quality regulations.
