Environmental Engineer

Job Description

Two years into your environmental career and already tired of sitting behind a desk? This role puts you on the plant floor.

Job Summary

We're adding a third environmental engineer to a two-person team, and this one is built for someone who wants to be in the field, not behind a screen. Our current engineers are buried in reporting. You'll take the inspections, sampling, and waste handling off their plate, learn how a heavy industrial plant actually runs, and grow into compliance data and reporting over time. If you want a role where your work is visible from day one, keep reading.

Duties

• Own the field work that keeps the plant compliant: gather samples, run air testing, and complete visual and wetland inspections.
• Walk the plant checking hazardous waste labeling and disposal paperwork, catching problems before they become findings.
• Work directly with production departments and engineers to flag environmental issues and follow through until corrective actions are done.
• Build your foundation toward compliance data and regulatory reporting as you earn more responsibility.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering or a related environmental field.
• Roughly two years of plant experience, ideally including an internship or junior environmental role with hands-on sampling, inspections, or waste handling.
• A genuine willingness to be on site and in the field every day. This is not a remote or consulting desk job.
• Strong verbal communication and the confidence to walk up to a department lead, raise an issue, and hold your ground until it's resolved.
• A self-starter mindset. Once you're trained, you'll be trusted to run your own rounds and manage your own follow-ups.
