- Review contractor work plans, sequencing, health and safety plans, equipment lists, disposal facility approvals, and project organization for consistency with approved remedial action plans, interim source removal plans, and permit conditions
- Provide daily field presence during intrusive work, excavation, source removal, backfilling, dewatering, and related construction activities
- Document excavation limits, depths, equipment used, contractor activities, field conditions, and deviations from approved plans
- Maintain detailed daily field logs and photographic records of pre-excavation conditions, excavation areas, confirmation sampling, stockpiles, loading, transport, backfill, and restoration
- Screen and observe soil and other media during excavation using field instruments and observations, including PID readings, landfill gas monitoring, color, odor, staining, debris, and groundwater conditions
- Measure and document volumes of impacted media excavated and help verify segregation, labeling, covering, loading, and transport of impacted and clean materials
- Coordinate and document contaminated media sampling, waste characterization sampling, confirmation sampling, chain-of-custody records, laboratory coordination, and field quality-control activities
- Support groundwater protection and dewatering oversight, including required discharge samples, field parameters, flow routing documentation, discharge observations, turbidity observations, and permit-related records
- Track and organize waste management documentation, including waste profiles, manifests, disposal tickets, scale records, truckload counts, and waste-stream summaries
- Observe and document backfill placement, clean-fill documentation, quarry tickets, compaction methodology, lift placement, final grading, and site restoration activities
- Identify changed field conditions, utilities, deeper or more extensive impacts, unexpected groundwater, or other conditions requiring prompt communication with the project manager
- Support preparation of remedial action status reports, remedial action implementation reports, interim source removal completion reports, photo logs, tables, appendices, and project closeout documentation
Required Qualifications - Minimum of approximately 5 years of relevant experience in environmental consulting, site remediation, construction inspection, geology, engineering, environmental field services, or related work
- Experience working on active construction sites, excavation projects, drilling projects, earthwork projects, remediation sites, or similar field projects
- Demonstrated ability to prepare accurate, organized, and defensible field documentation, daily reports, logs, photographs, and project records
- Experience coordinating with contractors, subcontractors, drillers, laboratories, inspectors, clients, or project managers
- Working knowledge of soil classification, subsurface conditions, excavation, fill materials, backfilling, compaction, or material handling
- Ability to recognize changed field conditions and elevate issues that may affect project scope, regulatory compliance, safety, cost, or schedule
- Strong written and verbal communication, organization, and project coordination skills
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office software, especially Word, Excel, and Outlook
- Valid driver's license with acceptable driving record
Preferred Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in environmental or civil engineering, geology, hydrogeology, environmental science, construction management, or a related technical field
- Experience with FDEP-regulated contaminated-site projects, Chapter 62-780, Brownfields, remedial action plans, interim source removal plans, or environmental closure reporting
- Experience with environmental remediation, contaminated soil excavation, landfill-related work, waste characterization, source removal, or remedial construction oversight
- Experience with soil, groundwater, surface water, discharge water, or waste characterization sampling, including chain-of-custody documentation and field QA/QC requirements
- Experience with PID screening, landfill gas monitoring, multi-parameter meters, turbidity meters, GPS equipment, or similar field instruments
- Experience with dewatering, discharge monitoring, industrial wastewater permit compliance, or groundwater discharge permit documentation
- OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER certification with current refresher, or ability to obtain promptly
Physical & Work Requirements - Ability to perform fieldwork in varying environmental and weather conditions, including outdoor work in Florida heat, humidity, and rain
- Ability to work safely around active construction sites, excavation equipment, drilling rigs, trucks, dewatering equipment, and environmental remediation activities
- Capable of lifting up to 50 pounds, including sampling equipment, field instruments, and coolers
- Willingness to travel to project sites as needed, primarily within Florida
Work Environment This position includes a combination of field-based and office-based responsibilities. Field work may occur at industrial, commercial, Brownfields, landfill-impacted, remediation, construction, and redevelopment sites. Work may involve exposure to soil, groundwater, surface water, impacted media, construction equipment, and changing field conditions. Strict adherence to health and safety procedures and project-specific requirements is required.
