• 4+ years of environmental consulting experience, including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, environmental compliance reviews, and/or site investigation and remediation support.
• Ability to perform site visits; review technical and regulatory information; evaluate environmental conditions; and produce clear, concise, technically sound deliverables.
