• Developing and implementing environmental management systems for utility operations.
• Preparing reports, permits, and regulatory filings in accordance with state and federal requirements.

• Providing guidance and authoring waste characterization, stormwater management, SPCC, and related reports/documents.
• Partnering with client leadership to recommend and implement process improvements.
• Delivering practical solutions that balance regulatory requirements with operational realities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum of 3-4 years post-graduation experience; 5+ years preferred in multimedia environmental compliance.
• Demonstrated knowledge of utility-sector environmental regulations (water, waste, PCB management).
• Strong technical writing skills with ability to prepare compliance reports and programs.
• Ability to manage multiple projects with high diligence.
• Excellent communication and critical thinking skills.

Ideally, you will also have...

• Experience working directly with utilities (distribution or generation) on compliance issues.

• Professional Engineer (PE) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) credential.
• Experience supporting multimedia compliance in consulting environments.
• Ability and willingness to travel as the project dictates.
