  • Multi-media sampling (soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, air) and reporting.
  • Oversight of construction activities, collection of samples, etc., as well as office activities including engineering analysis.
  • Occasional travel may be required.

  • Bachelor of Science degree in civil, environmental, biosystems, or geotechnical engineering required.
