  • Assist in the development and implementation of environmental management plans to mitigate adverse environmental impacts
  • Conduct site visits and inspections to monitor environmental conditions and compliance with regulations
  • Assist in writing proposals for new projects, including scope of work, methodology, and cost estimates

About You:
