  • Manage assigned projects end-to-end, including scheduling, budget tracking, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
  • Prepare project documentation-including health and safety plans, sampling plans, regulatory forms-and coordinate subcontractors and equipment.
  • Conduct review and interpretation of historical records, lab reports, environmental data, and draft reports prepared by junior colleagues.
  • Support senior team members with client engagement, business development, and long-term strategic planning.

  • A passion for health and safety, with strong attention to detail and accuracy in both field and office settings.
