  • Working knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological processes that control the transport, migration and potential impacts of hazardous waste (e.g., in soil, air, groundwater, surface water, and/or sediments) to human health and the environment.
  • Willingness to periodically travel 3-6 days a month (assuming safe and appropriate travel).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Programmatic or field experience with the EPA Superfund removal or remedial cleanup process.
  • Experience reviewing or supporting EPA Five-Year Reviews.
  • Strong project management skills.
  • Proven ability to support a range of projects, including projects outside of primary expertise.

  • Expertise in hydrogeology, geology, contaminants, human health risk assessment, remedial technologies, environmental engineering, or environmental monitoring.
  • Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response certification.
  • Experience developing or reviewing institutional controls (e.g., environmental covenants or deed notices).

Experience working with/supporting diverse communities.

  • Experience presenting technical information to large groups and diverse audiences.

Please submit required application materials, which include a cover letter and resume by July 31, 2022. Interviews are anticipated to begin by August 15, 2022, with a hiring decision made by late August.

Decisions will be made based on resumes, performance on skill exercises, and recommendations.
