The Project Industrial Hygienist will perform field studies including airborne chemical monitoring, noise monitoring, indoor air quality assessments, asbestos surveys, and Phase I preliminary site assessments. Responsibilities include developing sampling strategies, outlining required analyses, researching regulatory standards and hazard data, evaluating sampling results, preparing risk assessment reports, and developing recommendations for environmental correction and improvement. The position also requires presenting and communicating findings and recommendations to clients. This is a career-level, fully competent industrial hygiene professional role responsible for planning, scheduling, conducting, or coordinating detailed phases of work for parts of major projects or entire projects of moderate scope and complexity. The individual may devise new approaches to problems and serve as a team leader for medium projects, mentoring junior industrial hygienists, scientists, or engineers.
