We’re looking for an emerging Scientist, Geologist, Engineer or Planner to provide technical support on projects using your understanding of permitting, chemistry, water and soil sampling, and laboratory analytical methods.

During your time with us, you will manage up to 50 permitting projects per year, including being involved in planning, construction, and permit closeout phases. You’ll prepare permit applications, sampling plans, discharge summaries, soil and water management plans, and permit closeout documents. You’ll be juggling multiple tasks, so we’ll rely on you to prioritize effectively, keeping the big picture in mind.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Bachelor's degree in Geology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Planning, or other closely related field
- Professional on-the-job experience related to environmental consulting and/or regulatory agency experience and experience working directly with clients
