Key Responsibilities Include:
  • Conducting Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
  • Performing soil and groundwater investigations
  • Preparing work plans, reports, and regulatory documentation
  • Supporting hazardous materials surveys and remediation efforts
  • Coordinating with clients, regulators, and subcontractors
  • Managing field data collection and analysis
