  • Lead and oversee the Engineering Group, including personnel management, financial performance, and resource allocation.
  • Direct Engineering Group activities by assigning tasks, leading design teams, supervising performance, and providing final QA/QC review.
  • Identify, coach, and mentor Engineering staff to successfully complete projects and advance professionally.
  • Design and develop remediation strategies tailored to site specific conditions and contaminant types.
  • Interpret existing regulations and guidance and coordinate with consultants to develop strategies related to engineered systems.
  • Prepare and submit permit applications to regulatory agencies, including required documentation, data, and technical reports.
  • Prepare proposals for August Mack service areas and external clients.
  • Collaborate with other groups and departments to accomplish project and organizational objectives.

  • Ability to oversee multiple projects simultaneously
  • Demonstrate leadership skills with the ability to lead and mentor staff, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and oversee project teams
  • Manage, develop, and motivate staff

  • All positions require the completion of a successful background check, motor vehicle review, and pre-employment drug screen.
