  • Ability to manage scope, schedule, cost, and risk with a structured approach. 
  • Strong coordination skills across field/office resources and cross-functional stakeholders. 
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills; capable of producing and managing recurring reporting deliverables.

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Geology, Environmental Science or related field 
  • PE or PG will be highly regarded 
  • 8+ years of experience in environmental consulting including environmental remediation and site assessments, report writing, data management & interpretation, project coordination, and managing clients
