Senior Environmental Engineer

Clean Up What Matters. Lead Work That Lasts. Are you an environmental professional who wants more than oversight without influence? We’re a small, self-owned environmental consulting firm based in the Seattle–Tukwila area, focused on complex site cleanup work across the Pacific Northwest. Our projects often involve challenging industrial waterfront and coastal environments where technical leadership, regulatory judgment, and trusted decision-making truly matter. If you’re motivated by solving the hard problems, guiding teams through complexity, and shaping cleanup strategies that stand the test of time, this role was built for you.
