Job description

Careers at Wynn L. White Consulting Engineers

Looking for work that is active, hands-on, and takes you into real project environments?

Environmental issues often surface during construction, renovation, or daily building use. When they do, teams need clear information to keep moving forward.

That is where we come in.

At Wynn L. White Consulting Engineers, you will be part of projects in which conditions must be understood and documented in the field. You will work alongside contractors, facility teams, and project stakeholders to help bring clarity to situations that are not always straightforward.

This is not desk work. It is field-based, fast-moving, and tied directly to how projects progress.

What You'll Work On

Projects may include:

• Asbestos air monitoring and bulk sampling
• Lead air monitoring and paint sampling
• Mold and moisture investigations
• Indoor environmental conditions affecting buildings and occupants

The focus remains consistent. Understand what is happening, document conditions clearly, and support next steps so work can continue.

Who This Role Fits

This work fits people who:

• Prefer being in the field
• Stay steady when situations are unclear or changing
• Notice details others may miss
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams
• Take responsibility for their work and follow through
