• Building and maintaining client relationships.
• Providing technical leadership for hazardous waste remediation under CERCLA and RCRA.
• Serving as subject matter expert in remedial engineering, geology, or chemistry.
• Developing and reviewing technical reports to ensure quality and compliance.

Minimum qualifications:
