• Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a favorable Tier 3 (T3) Background Investigation to obtain a CAC; an active secret clearance or an existing adjudicated T3/NACLC is preferred. (Note: this position does not involve classified information)

• 6+ years of total professional environmental experience, with at least 3+ years directly working on CERCLA and/or RCRA projects (or related federal environmental restoration programs).
• Current OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification with up-to-date 8-Hour annual refresher.
• Expert knowledge of federal and state environmental regulations including CERCLA, Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA), and RCRA.
• Strong communication skills in the English language, both written and oral, for drafting government-level correspondence.
• A valid state-issued REAL ID driver's license.
• Willingness to spend 10-20% of the time in local travel/site visits.

We encourage all candidates who meet the basic requirements to apply, even if you do not have any of the following experience:
