  • Contributing to the production of figures, maps, and boring logs.

Core duties include:

  • Performing fieldwork which may include drilling oversight for soil sampling and/or groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, excavation oversight, operation and maintenance of remediation systems, and vapor intrusion/soil gas surveys.
  • Data management on tablets, including compilation, evaluation, and QA/QC.
  • Local and regional travel. Must be willing to do overnight stays. Overnight stays can stretch up to 2-weeks at a time at various intervals.
