  • Follow all safety protocols and requirements in laboratory and field settings, ensuring compliance with company policies
  • Contribute to ongoing projects by collecting data, performing tests, and compiling results
  • Assist in preparing project plans, schedules, and materials needed for project execution
  • Present technical findings, project progress, and results under the guidance of senior staff to leadership, clients, or at conferences as appropriate
  • Work closely with senior staff to gain hands-on exposure to project management, design processes, and technical problem-solving
Qualifications and Skills:

  • Relevant experience in lieu of a degree will be considered
  • Strong analytical, mechanical, and problem-solving skills
  • Demonstrated aptitude and interest in science, technical work, mechanical equipment, chemistry, and air quality
  • Hands-on experience in a laboratory, technical setting, or engineering project (academic or professional)
  • Experience in mechanical work, laboratory research, or field science preferred
  • Knowledge of EPA source test methods/procedures, air quality or emissions monitoring equipment, and related techniques preferred
  • Ability to travel as needed for field projects across the country
  • Ability to pass background checks and initial and random drug screenings
  • Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) preferred, or equivalent experience hauling trailers over long distances
