The work we do covers site assessment, remediation, hazardous building materials management, building demolition, wetland science, regulatory compliance, environmental permitting, and other ways we can support client work with state and local governments, utilities, private clients, industry, colleges, and hospitals. 

What will you be doing as a Senior Environmental Scientist – Site Assessment & Remediation 
As a Senior Environmental Scientist in our site assessment and remediation group you will join our growing team and work on a variety of ongoing brownfield and private redevelopment, Transfer Act, municipal, institutional, utility, and other interesting and challenging site investigation, and remediation projects.
