This role is critical to advancing technical excellence, mentoring junior engineers, driving delivery consistency, and supporting the successful execution of ERM’s global remediation portfolio.

What your impact is?

• Lead the development and review of engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and technical reports for complex remediation projects.
• Provide technical leadership during design, construction, startup, and operational phases to ensure projects meet quality, safety, budget, and schedule objectives.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to junior engineers, supporting their professional development and project delivery capabilities.
• Foster strong collaboration with global project teams, clients, subcontractors, and regulatory agencies to achieve successful project outcomes.
• Drive continuous improvement in engineering standards, design quality, and consulting delivery efficiency across projects.

What you’ll bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Environmental, or Geotechnical Engineering with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
• 4-10 years of relevant experience in environmental engineering, remediation design, environmental consulting, construction support, or related engineering disciplines.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering workstreams and coordinating multidisciplinary project teams.
• Strong knowledge of remediation technologies, environmental compliance programs, permitting requirements, and engineering design principles.
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and engineering software tools.
• Experience developing and reviewing engineering drawings, technical specifications, construction documents, and technical reports.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make sound technical recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining high-quality deliverables.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience interacting directly with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
• Strong commitment to safety and experience implementing health and safety requirements during field and construction activities.

Preferred:

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability to obtain within a reasonable timeframe.
• Experience leading field programs, pilot studies, remediation system startups, and construction oversight activities.
• Experience with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and environmental data management platforms.
• Experience supporting global, multi-office, or shared-service delivery models.
• Experience applying automation, AI-enabled tools, or advanced analytical methods to engineering workflows.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead engineering design activities for civil remediation projects, including data evaluation, engineering calculations, design development, cost estimating, and preparation of technical specifications and contract documents.
• Provide technical leadership and oversight during construction, commissioning, startup, and operational phases of remediation projects.
• Review and approve engineering work products prepared by junior engineers and provide technical mentoring and quality assurance.
• Lead modeling, calculations, and design efforts related to stormwater management, soil stabilization, hydraulic systems, vapor treatment systems, groundwater treatment systems, and other environmental infrastructure.
• Plan and direct field investigations, pilot tests, remediation system evaluations, performance testing, and construction oversight activities.
• Coordinate with project managers to support project planning, budgeting, scheduling, and risk management activities.
• Interface directly with clients, subcontractors, vendors, and regulatory agencies to resolve technical issues and maintain project progress.
• Ensure project activities comply with applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations, engineering standards, and ERM quality requirements.
• Contribute to continual improvement initiatives, engineering best practices, and technical standardization efforts across the global engineering organization.
• Support proposal development, scope preparation, technical sales efforts, and business development activities where appropriate.
