About The Position

NV5 is a provider of engineering and consulting services to public and private sector clients, delivering solutions through six business verticals: Testing, Inspection & Consulting; Infrastructure; Utility Services; Environmental Health Sciences; Buildings & Program Management; and Geospatial Technology. With offices nationwide and abroad, NV5 helps clients plan, design, build, test, certify, and operate projects that improve the communities where we live and work. As engineers, architects, construction/program managers, environmental professionals and beyond, we play a significant role in shaping our communities through the services we provide. We are looking for passionate, driven individuals to join our team focused on Delivering Solutions and Improving Lives. Whether you call it “radiation safety,” “radiation protection” or “rad con,” we are internationally recognized experts in the niche technical field of health physics and have supported thousands of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation-related projects since 1994. NV5 has the expertise and experience to quickly understand your issues, develop practical approaches, and implement cost-effective solutions. Federal agencies, government contractors, commercial customers, and academic and professional organizations rely on NV5 for a wide range of needs, and we lend our expertise however and wherever it is needed. Role Overview: We are seeking a highly organized Statistician to join our technical consulting team. While we operate in the field of radiation protection, this is primarily a computational and statistical role. You will be responsible for interpreting complex historical datasets, developing robust models, and communicating findings to high-level stakeholders. The ideal candidate thrives when presented with novel data and possesses the discipline to manage client expectations with clarity and professionalism. Note: This role is remote and requires U.S. citizenship.
