Job Description

AECOM is seeking an experienced Environmental Technician to support environmental remediation, demolition, and site restoration projects for a variety of clients. The Environment Technician will provide daily on-site support for construction, excavation, decommissioning, health and safety, and subcontractor operations across active project sites.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in supervising union and non-union labor, managing heavy equipment operations, and directing field crews on complex environmental cleanup projects. Experience with Superfund, or industrial decommissioning is strongly preferred; however, any experience within Environmental Remediation fieldwork will be prioritized.

Responsibilities will include but not limited to:

  • Site Management & Field Supervision

    • Lead daily field operations for remediation, demolition, excavation, cap placement, trenching, and site restoration activities.

    • Supervise union and non-union equipment operators, laborers, teamsters, drillers, and subcontractors on active project sites.

    • Coordinate work sequencing, equipment use, contractor activities, and daily production goals to maintain schedule and quality.

    • Drive strict adherence to work plans, construction specifications, and environmental controls.

  • Environmental & Technical Field Oversight

    • Oversee pump-and-treat system operations, including monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimization.

    • Manage vapor intrusion mitigation systems at residential locations, ensuring compliance with design and regulatory requirements.

    • Direct general groundwater sampling programs and support RCRA-related activities, including waste characterization and reporting.

    • Perform miscellaneous maintenance tasks aligned with remediation systems and site infrastructure.

    • Support waste handling, packaging, and disposal logistics, including compliance with regulatory requirements and disposal site criteria.

    • Monitor field conditions, contamination controls, dust suppression, stormwater BMPs, and equipment decontamination zones.

  • Health & Safety Leadership

    • Serve as an on-site safety representative, enforcing AECOM safety policies and project-specific Health and Safety Plans.

    • Correct unsafe behaviors and conditions immediately and escalate issues to project management when needed.

    • Maintain compliance with applicable federal (OSHA) and/or state regulatory requirements, as appropriate for the specific job.

  • Project Planning & Documentation

    • Support development and execution of Field Sampling Plans, QAPPs, SSHPs, and project work plans.

    • Maintain daily logs, production reports, safety records, equipment logs, and subcontractor documentation.

    • Assist in preparing progress reports, regulatory documentation, and closure reports.

    • Coordinate with regulatory inspectors and client representatives during field activities.

  • Coordination & Communication

    • Serve as the primary on-site point of contact between subcontractors, project managers, safety staff, and client representatives.

    • Participate in project scheduling, constructability reviews, and planning of field mobilizations/demobilizations.

    • Communicate daily progress, changes, and issues to project management and regulatory partners.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

  • HS Diploma and 4+ years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.

  • Due to the nature of the role US citizenship is required, sponsorship for this role will not be available.

  • Successful candidate will have to pass client required drug screening, background check, and motor vehicle records check.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 10 years of experience in remediation (O and M experience) or site supervision.

  • CPR/First Aid certification.

  • Experience working with union labor forces and complex multi-stakeholder field sites.

  • Strong background supervising field crews, subcontractors, and heavy equipment operations.

  • Experience on EPA Superfund, DOD, DOE, NRC, or USACE-managed remediation projects.

  • OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification.

  • Strong understanding of field safety, heavy construction techniques, and environmental controls.

  • Ability to create clear daily logs, field reports, and documentation.
