Environmental Compliance Specialist I – NASA Glenn Research Center

We're looking for an Environmental Compliance Specialist to support environmental programs at NASA Glenn's Armstrong Test Facility in Ohio. This is a great opportunity to gain hands‑on experience across hazardous waste management, stormwater, wastewater, spill prevention, and environmental compliance while contributing to the important work happening at NASA.

Herndon Solutions Group (HSG) is seeking an Environmental Compliance Specialist I to serve as the on‑site, multimedia environmental compliance resource at the NASA Glenn Research Center Neil

A. Armstrong Test Facility (GRC‑ATF) in Erie County, Ohio. The Specialist administers day‑to‑day compliance coordination across hazardous and regulated waste, petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) and tanks, spill preparedness and response, stormwater, and wastewater.

The position evaluates site conditions, integrates requirements across environmental media, supports functional‑area leads with inspections, field work, sampling, records, and reporting, and tracks ATF compliance issues through resolution. The Specialist supports Lewis Field when cross‑site workload or continuity needs arise and reports to the designated HSG Project Manager/Site Lead.

• Serve as the primary on‑site compliance coordinator for GRC‑ATF across waste, POL/tank, spill, stormwater, and wastewater programs, maintaining awareness of permits, plans, inspections, monitoring, records, deliverables, and corrective actions.
• Evaluate facility operations, projects, material and waste storage, tanks, outfalls, wastewater discharges, construction activities, and spill conditions for potential multi‑media environmental requirements, and route issues to the appropriate functional lead.
• Conduct and document hazardous waste accumulation area, universal waste, used oil, POL/tank, stormwater, wastewater, construction, and other assigned compliance inspections; identify deficiencies and recommend corrective actions.
• Support regulated and controlled waste activities at ATF, including generator coordination, waste determinations, profiles, accumulation‑area management, shipment documentation, sampling coordination, and cradle‑to‑grave records.
• Support Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC), POL, and tank program requirements, including inspections, inventory validation, spill response guide updates, alarm and event documentation, closure or maintenance support, and corrective‑action tracking.
• Maintain ATF spill readiness and provide initial technical coordination for spill assessment, containment strategy, sampling, waste management, documentation, internal and external reporting determinations, and post‑event follow‑up within delegated authority.
• Support stormwater permit implementation through site surveillance, wet‑and‑dry‑weather inspections, outfall screening, construction and post‑construction best management practice (BMP) inspections, sampling coordination, documentation, and recommended updates to stormwater pollution prevention and management plans.
• Support wastewater compliance through permit‑condition awareness, sampling and analytical coordination, discharge monitoring data review, inspection support, equipment checks, reporting inputs, and investigation of abnormal or potentially noncompliant conditions.
• Coordinate with laboratories and functional‑area leads on field sampling plans,…
