Principal Environmental Engineer or Scientist, Parsons

Principal Environmental Engineer or Scientist - Insitu Technologies/Remediation
Somerset NJ

Are you a leader in discovering remedial methods for Metal contamination?

Parsons is seeking a strong senior level Environmental Engineer or Scientist, with a background in InSitu Technologies, to provide technical direction and guidance on remediation techniques for projects in the US. If you have a strong background designing and overseeing Insitu remediation, specifically for Metal and arsenic contaminants - we are interested in you!

This position can be located in one of our major offices in NJ, PA, NY, CT, DE, MI, OH, TX or MD with expected (planned) travel to site locations around the Northeast.

In this role, you will support a number of clients in the Northeast, and other areas in the US on remediation design techniques, which could include large Brownfield projects, superfund sites, chemical spills, petroleum refining and storage facilities, and manufacturing facility clean up.

The successful candidate independently performs a wide variety of complex environmental remediation design feasibility evaluation and recommendation and technology implementation tasks primarily related to in-situ technologies (ISS, ISCF) with a focus on remediation for metals. Adept in analyzing site assessment data and developing cost effective solutions related to the remediation technology.

Plans, directs, supervises and controls field efforts with site personnel and subcontractors, leading kick-off meetings with field teams, and providing technical guidance to field personnel performing field activities. Responsible for the completion of key deliverables and assigns responsibility for executing project plans to key subordinates.

Develops budgets, schedules, and plans for various elements of the project. Ensures that the project meets established cleanup goals. This role requires the ability to develop solutions to challenges identified during investigation, design and implementation and clear and concise communication while serving as a liaison between field activities and project management. The successful candidate will be problem solver and have an entrepreneurial spirit.

Job Requirements:

4-year degree (minimum) in Engineering or Science related discipline, and prefer MS in Chemical/Environmental Engineering or related discipline.

Minimum of 10 years of related environmental engineering work experience focusing on engineering, design and implementation of remedial alternatives, with expertise with InSitu Technologies like ISS, ISCF.

Proficiency in various computer software applications typically used within the assigned discipline.

Professional Engineer (PE) license is preferred.

Prefer thorough understanding of all environmental rules and regulations, particularly those of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection including the Field Sampling Procedures Manual.

Prefer 40-hour OSHA HAZWOPER Certification and valid refresher course.

Proficiency in implementation of a behavior based safety program.

Experience implementing InSitu technologies for large complex projects like petroleum refining or storage facilities is preferred.

Demonstrate success in working in a team environment, being an excellent team player as well as a leader.

Willingness to train and develop junior employees is expected.

Postdoctoral Investigator, WHOI

Postdoctoral Investigator
Woods Hole MA

The Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department is searching for a Postdoctoral Investigator to join their team. This is a temporary position and the initial appointment will be for one year starting in 2017 with the possibility of an extension for a maximum of two years. This position is considered exempt full-time and is eligible for benefits.

JOB SUMMARY & DETAILS:

This position will support a funded project that combines at-sea sampling and experiments with the development and application of analytical methods in the Van Mooy Lab at WHOI.. The overarching goal is to characterize the production and consumption of chemically reduced (i.e. +3 oxidation state) phosphorus compounds by plankton, and thereby elucidate the roles these compounds play in marine environments where phosphorus is either abundant or scarce. While the primary focus of the work will be in research, the postdoctoral investigator will have an opportunity to participate in educational and outreach activities associated with the project.

DESIRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

A PhD in chemical oceanography, biogeochemistry, analytical chemistry or a related field is required.

Demonstrated proficiency in the analysis of chemicals in the environment is essential.

Prior work on the development of ion chromatographic methods is advantageous, as is experience with mass spectrometry.

Experience in the analysis of ‘omics datasets’ and/or the study of upper ocean biogeochemical nutrient cycling is also a plus.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:

Physical duties for this position include but are not limited to visual abilities to include near and far vision. Hear and respond to instructions. Work around and with others. Physical duties are subject to change.

SEA DUTY CONDITIONS & PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTIONS:

May work at least 8 hours per day and, at times in excess of 12 hours per day, 7 days per week. Sleep and work hours can deviate from those on land. May be expected to work on watch schedule (such as 8 hours on and 8 hours off or 12 hours on and 8 hours off) for all or part of a cruise or to work as hours are needed to accomplish the planned work. May need to travel during holidays and for long distances to and from foreign ports. May experience rudimentary living and working conditions, with shared and basic living quarters and laboratories. May experience bad or extreme weather conditions, including heavy seas, winter weather or hot, tropical weather. Work on deck may occur in both hot and cold conditions around the clock. Sea conditions will lead to active ship motion. Should be able to climb steep and vertical ladders and able to enter and exit compartments through hatches, doors, and sills. Should be able to carry heavy gear and participate in the loading and unloading of the ship as well as in the activities on deck and in the labs during the cruise. Shipboard environment may include: confined areas, shared sleeping quarters (berths) and bathroom facilities, small and basic berthing, fixed meal times and basic menus. Modest levels of heating, cooling, ventilation, and illumination, limited or no email and internet access and limited off-duty and recreational facilities (library, lounge, movies). May be exposed to potential allergens and irritants, including paint fumes. May experience constant and intermittent loud noises, and slippery and uneven surfaces.
