Position Overview 

EDA is seeking a part-time or full-time entry-level Environmental Scientist. Please be advised that we will initially focus our candidate search on applicants that do not need to relocate in order to work from our home office in Delray Beach, Florida.

While this is an entry-level position, preference will be given to candidates with FLORIDA-based experience in conducting Phase I Environmental Site Assessment reports in accordance with ASTM requirements.

This position typically involves approximately 50 percent time in the field and 50 percent of your time spent in our home office in Delray Beach.  

Responsibilities  

• This position will require a good deal of independent research of local, state, and federal resources in compiling the information required for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs).
• This position is a growth opportunity for the right candidate to eventually perform field inspections for various property types and evolve into a full-fledged project manager for Phase I ESA's, NEPA Screening Reports and environemental sampling and field work. 

Qualifications  

Desired Skills, Experience & Education:  

• Strong technical report writing and computer research skills are a must, and specific Phase I ESA experience is a bonus. 
• Familiarity with the wireless communications industry and/or experience in dealing with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) would also be weighed heavily in our consideration.
• BA or BS in Environmental Science, Ecology, Biology, Geology, Engineering or related fields. 
• Familiarity with Phase I Site Assessments is preferred. 

Additional skills required: 

• Excellent grasp of Miscrosoft Office Suite Programs.
• Excellent report writing skills, as well as computer and internet research skills.
• Excellent communication and management skills.
• Excellent time management and organizational skills. 
• This position will require you to manage the required research, report writing and timely filing of electronic deliverables for several projects simultaneously.
• Ability to complete assignments on-time and within budget.
• Ability to travel on short notice (one week or less). This position will require travel primarily throughout south and central Florida as well as occasional trips to more distant project locations. All travel-related business expenses are reimbursed.
• OSHA HAZWOPER Certification is preferred, but can be obtained while in training with our firm.
• A strong preference will be afforded to candidates with a working knowledge of, and experience with Phase I ESA's and/or NEPA reviews. 

Additional Information  

What sets us apart from most other smaller to mid-size environmental firms, however, is that we also offer a complete line of civil engineering infrastructure design and permitting services.

By integrating these services, many synergies are afforded to our clients. As a result of these synergies, our professionals are exposed to varied and dynamic project challenges and, in turn, they are rewarded with interdisciplinary growth opportunities typically not found in other environmental firms.
