Arcadis is seeking an Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) Practitioner (Environmental Scientist, Environmental Engineer, or Environmental or Health & Safety area disciplines) to support national and regional EDD projects and programs, including site evaluation, research, and report writing. The position requires both field and office work, with up to 40-50% of time spent in the field (mainly regional).

As part of our Resilience Environment team, you’ll help improve quality of life. With expertise in environmental science or engineering, you will work closely with Arcadis’ established EDD Community of Practice group to develop technical assessment and writing skills to support Phase I ESA projects and produce high‑quality work products in accordance with ASTM E1527-21.

Your responsibilities will involve working with the EDD Community of Practice to conduct Phase I ESAs and associated projects. Activities include conducting site visits at retail, commercial, and manufacturing facilities, interviewing property representatives and government agencies, and reviewing files. You will document field observations, interview details, and photographic evidence accurately.
