Perform assigned environmental compliance engineering evaluations, studies, and technical analyses supporting Metro's environmental compliance programs.

For assigned environmental program areas, perform compliance engineering and regulatory work as needed to meet Metro's operational and programmatic requirements.

Assist with the preparation of engineering and regulatory analyses and documentation to support compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations and permits.

Support permit-related analyses, renewals, and reports under various environmental programs.

Review engineering design documents, process or chemical modifications, and capital project proposals under the supervision of higher-level Environmental Compliance Engineers to identify potential environmental compliance implications.

Conduct data evaluations, calculations, and preliminary modeling to support engineering assessments, including fate and transport analyses.

Participate in technical and regulatory reviews of capital projects to ensure that compliance considerations are addressed during design, construction, and operations.

Support environmental release responses, evaluations, corrective actions, and reporting, including data gathering, field assessments, and preparation of draft technical documentation.

Assist in preparing compliance reports, technical memoranda, and correspondence to regulatory agencies.

Support the development and delivery of training programs for Metro staff. Responsibilities may include research, development of training materials, and/or assistance with training delivery.
