• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with regulatory agencies, project managers, clients, and other stakeholders to communicate risk assessment results and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Site Characterization & Remediation Strategy Development: Provide technical support for site investigations, data interpretation, and development of remediation plans to address identified risks.
