  • Perform asbestos and lead-based paint inspections as a lead or other building materials as required for the project.

  • Follow written scopes of work and take detailed field notes.

  • Plan and execute remediation and DDD construction projects, including design reviews, constructability assessments, cost estimates, and pre-construction coordination

  • Prepare remediation, construction, demolition, and decommissioning bid packages and engineering cost estimates

  • Provide day-to-day oversight of contractors, subcontractors, inspectors, and field staff to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient execution of work

  • Monitor project progress, schedules, and site activities; identify risks and support timely resolution

  • Review contractor submittals such as RFIs, change orders, and compliance documentation

  • Serve as Field Safety Officer on assigned projects, developing and implementing site-specific Health & Safety Plans, conducting daily safety briefings, and maintaining safety records

  • Perform construction management and quality assurance services across earthwork, site restoration, remedial systems, and disposal facilities

  • Act as a liaison between field teams and ERM Project Managers, ensuring field execution aligns with project plans and specifications

Work Environment

  • This role is primarily field-based with travel throughout the United States.

  • The majority of time will be spent conducting building assessments, inspections, and sampling activities and report writing and data analysis
