Staff Environmental Engineer or Scientist
About The Position
As a Staff Environmental Engineer or Scientist, you will be responsible for performing field work to collect environmental data (soil, sediment, groundwater and vapor), performing oversight of cleanup construction, preparing field reports and logs, evaluating and interpreting environmental data, and assisting project managers in preparation of cleanup and design documents including work plans, reports, plans and specifications and engineers estimates. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Observe and document field explorations and collect environmental data (soil, sediment, groundwater, stormwater, wastewater and vapor). Field explorations may include drilling and test pitting to collect soil samples, sediment grab sampling and coring, monitoring well installation and collection of samples from varying environmental media (groundwater, wastewater, stormwater, etc.). Oversight and documentation of construction activities including remedial excavation and/or construction, stormwater and wastewater system installation, operations and maintenance of remediation, stormwater and wastewater systems and site restoration activities. Manage logistics needed to complete the fieldwork and coordinate with analytical laboratory to order sample collection containers, completing sample chain of custody forms, and packaging and delivering samples to the lab. Communicate with team members, clients, regulators and contractors, as needed to complete the fieldwork. Independently produce detailed, accurate field reports and field logs (boring and test pit exploration logs) to document the fieldwork. Organize collected environmental data using spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel) or a database (SQL, Microsoft Access) and compare results to site-specific cleanup or regulatory levels. Develop figures and tables to present environmental data working with GeoEngineers’ Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) teams. Assist project managers in evaluating and interpreting environmental data and performing engineering/scientific analysis and calculations. Assist project managers with preparation of environmental permit applications and cleanup documents including technical memorandums, formal reports and design (design drawings, specifications and engineer estimate). Ensure that project deliverables are submitted to the project manager in a timely manner and are completed as estimated. Essential duties and responsibilities may vary based on projects.
