With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world's most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Arcadis is seeking an Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) Practitioner (Environmental Scientist, Environmental Engineer, or Environmental or Health & Safety area disciplines) to support national and regional EDD projects and programs, including site evaluation, research, and report writing.

While this position requires both field and office work, the ideal candidate will be located in one of the areas listed above and can expect to spend up to 40 to 50% of their time in the field (mainly regional).

As part of our Resilience Environment team, you'll help improve quality of life. With your expertise in environmental science / environmental engineering, you will work closely with Arcadis' established EDD Community of Practice group to develop technical assessment and writing skills to support Phase I ESA projects and support the Practice by producing high quality work products for our clients, in accordance with the ASTM International (ASTM) Designation: E1527-21 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E1527-21).

Role accountabilities include:

• Working with the EDD Community of Practice to conduct Phase I ESAs and associated projects.
• Conducting site visits at retail, commercial, and manufacturing facilities.
• Conducting interviews with property representatives and government agencies.
• File review requests.
• Documenting field observations, interview details, and photographic evidence in a clear and factual manner.
• Reviewing documents and summarizing key historical information, remedial activities and outcomes, environmental database listings and regulatory permits.
• Providing support in writing and preparing technical reports.
• Contributing to preparation of figures and other graphical representations to include in Phase I or other due diligence reports.
• Providing input regarding potential environmental conditions and risks, and the approach to evaluating those risks (i.e., Phase II ESA).

Candidates must have a valid driver's license and good driving record and be prepared to work outside in potentially inclement weather conditions. Work may be performed at project sites with environmental media that has been impacted with hazardous substances and/or hazardous waste, and at facilities with manufacturing activities that are proprietary. Work may also be conducted at locations where discretion and exceptional professional demeanor is required, due to the confidential and sensitive nature of the Phase I ESA process.

Required qualifications include:

• Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Occupational Health & Safety, or closely related field.
• Strong technical writing skills.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Prior experience conducting, writing, and evaluating Phase I ESAs.
• Previous industry, consulting, or internship experience in the environmental sector.
