Bechtel Corporation; Kopalino; On-site; PLN 99,000 - 151,000; Full time

Job summary

Bechtel, Lubiatowo, Poland, is seeking an Environmental Specialist to deliver the project’s environmental program on the workface, spending the day in the construction areas and verifying controls are in place.

You will lead field inspections, monitor dust, noise, and water, coordinate with subcontractors, and document evidence to support regulatory and customer reporting while growing under the Field Environmental Manager.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences, biology, or natural resources with 1–2 years of relevant experience.
• Experience on large infrastructure or industrial construction projects with multiple subcontractors.
• Nuclear or regulated project experience is a plus; Polish permitting familiarity is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Carries out daily environmental walkdowns and inspections of the construction areas, identifying deficiencies at the point of work, raising them with the responsible supervision on the spot, and confirming that corrections have actually been made.
• Checks that field environmental controls are installed, maintained and effective - erosion and sediment control, dewatering and discharge points, dust suppression, noise controls, wheel washes, waste segregation areas, fuel and chemical storage and secondary containment, spill kits and refueling arrangements.
• Conducts and coordinates environmental monitoring in the field - dust, noise, vibration, surface and groundwater, discharge sampling - arranges access for monitoring contractors, checks that results are received, and escalates exceedances promptly.
• Tracks permit and decision conditions applicable to live construction activities, verifies in the field that each is being met, and assembles the records, photographs and monitoring data that evidence compliance for regulatory and customer reporting.
• Reviews subcontractor method statements and environmental submittals for the activities in the assigned area, confirms that the mitigation measures they describe are practical, and then verifies in the field that what was written down is what has been put in place.
• Manages site waste in practice - checking segregation at source, storage conditions, licensed carrier and disposal documentation, and waste transfer records - and follows up where the arrangements on the ground do not match the waste management plan.
• Watches for ecological and heritage constraints in the working areas - protected species, nesting periods, tree and habitat protection zones, archaeological finds - halts work and escalates immediately where a constraint is at risk of being breached.
• Responds to spills and other environmental incidents in the field, supports containment and clean-up, gathers the facts first-hand, and contributes to investigation and corrective action so the same condition does not recur.
• Delivers environmental content in toolbox talks, inductions and pre-job briefings, and coaches crews and supervision on why a control matters rather than simply reporting that it is missing.
• Supports environmental audits and customer or regulatory authority site visits, accompanies inspectors in the field, and closes out the observations assigned to the area.
• Maintains accurate field records - inspection reports, monitoring logs, waste documentation, non-conformances and corrective actions - and provides the data used in weekly and monthly environmental performance reporting.
