About The Position

The Restoration Construction Engineer in Training (EIT) at EnviroScience is an entry-level engineering role with a focus on supporting the design and construction of environmental restoration projects. The position involves working closely with senior engineers, scientists, and project managers to develop and implement solutions that restore and enhance natural habitats, waterways, and ecosystems. The Construction EIT will assist with construction activities such as site preparation, stream and wetland construction, vegetation installation, and related restoration construction practices. Additionally, the EIT will assist in project design, data analysis, fieldwork, and plan and report preparation. This position may require out-of-town or extended stay work based on specific project locations.
