Full-Time or Part-Time | Exempt or Non-Exempt | Remote with in-office opportunities in NC and MA |
Reports to the Fuel Facilities UST Compliance Manager | $25 - $35/hour ($52,000 - $72,800 annual)

THE ROLE

We're looking for someone experienced in managing UST compliance at retail fueling sites to join our existing team. Pinnacle works as an extension of our clients' environmental compliance teams. This can take the form of filling gaps created by staffing turnovers, surge work as the portfolio expands, or a longer-term outsourced solution partner allowing our clients to focus on proactive asset planning. We don't own tanks, we don't do the testing, and we don't do field work. What we do is make sure the compliance program runs, the records hold up, and the gaps get closed before they turn into violations, lost insurance coverage, or lost revenue.

Day to day you'd be working alongside Pinnacle teammates, client staff, contractors, and regulators to keep every UST system in compliance with excellent documentation, supported by Pinnacle's wholistic service model that unites the right People, efficient Process, and powerful compliance Platforms.

WHAT YOU'D BE DOING

• Inspections and return to compliance: Coordinating agency inspections, putting the compliance packet together, and driving notices of violation through to a documented return to compliance.

• Release detection: Reviewing monthly CSLD, SIR and interstitial monitoring results, chasing down whatever doesn't pass, and making sure suspected release reporting happens inside the state's window.

• Testing and equipment: Scheduling and verifying annual and triennial line and tank tightness testing, ATG certification, Stage I/II vapor recovery, cathodic protection rectifier readings, and 30-day monthly visual walkthrough inspections.

• Vendors and activities: Triaging alarms, dispatching the right contractor, and following through until the closeout documentation is in the system.

• Registrations and permitting: Tank registration, permitting, air permit renewals, and financial assurance and state insurance fund applications for new-to-industry, raze and rebuilds, tank replacements and removals, tank closures and ownership transfers.

• Agency reporting: Coordinating agency reporting and tracking remediation response and component repairs through completion.

WHAT YOU'D BRING

• Two or more years in UST or AST compliance, with an owner or operator, an environmental consultancy, or a state program.

• A working command of 40 CFR Part 280 and at least one state UST program.

• Class A or Class B operator training, or the readiness to complete it.

• Comfort working directly with owners, operators and regulators.

• Solid Excel skills and fluency with a compliance platform.

• Availability for the shared on-call rotation.

Useful but not required: a multi-site portfolio in more than one state, existing relationships with state agency staff, or any exposure to state UST cleanup programs.
