Engineering Technician

The Engineering Technician will serve as the on-site representative for an environmental consulting team during construction, providing construction quality assurance for vapor intrusion mitigation and related environmental remediation work. This role focuses on overseeing the installation of vapor barriers and sub-slab vapor mitigation systems, monitoring contractor workmanship against drawings and specifications, and ensuring that all field activities are accurately documented and communicated to the engineering team.

• Serve as the primary boots-on-the-ground representative during construction for environmental remediation and vapor intrusion mitigation projects.
• Observe all on-site construction activities related to vapor barrier and vapor membrane installation.
• Oversee installation of sub-slab vapor mitigation systems, including both passive and active sub-slab venting and depressurization systems.
• Monitor installation of vapor collection piping and ensure proper routing, connections, and terminations in accordance with project drawings and specifications.
• Verify correct installation and sealing of penetrations and details, including foundations, utilities, and slab penetrations.
• Review and interpret project specifications and drawings, then observe contractor work to identify any nonconformance or deviations.
• Evaluate contractor workmanship against approved drawings, specifications, and quality requirements.
• Document nonconformances and deficiencies clearly and thoroughly, and track them through punch lists and deficiency logs until resolution.
• Prepare detailed daily field reports, including written observations, quantities, photos, and as-built documentation.
• Maintain accurate as-built records of installed systems, including locations, materials, and any field modifications.
• Communicate field conditions, issues, and progress directly with the site superintendent, foreman, engineers, and client representatives as needed.
• Collaborate with the project team to solve field issues and support timely, practical resolutions to construction challenges.
• Keep the engineer informed of all progress, field decisions, and daily activities through consistent reporting and communication.
• Support construction quality assurance (CQA) for environmental remediation and vapor intrusion system installations on both small and large projects.
• Contribute to safe work practices on site by following applicable health and safety procedures and standards.

• Approximately 45 years of experience in environmental remediation construction oversight, with a focus on construction quality assurance (CQA).
• Hands-on experience serving as an on-site representative for an environmental consultant during construction activities.
• Demonstrated experience overseeing vapor barrier and vapor membrane installation.
• Experience with sub-slab vapor mitigation systems, including passive and active sub-slab venting and depressurization.
• Experience overseeing installation of vapor collection piping and related components.
• Proficiency in reviewing and interpreting construction drawings and specifications.
• Ability to assess contractor workmanship against drawings, specifications, and quality standards.
• Strong skills in identifying nonconformance in the field and documenting issues clearly and accurately.
• Experience preparing daily field reports, including narrative descriptions, quantities, photos, and as-built documentation.
• Ability to maintain and manage punch lists and deficiency tracking through to resolution.
• Effective communication skills for direct coordination with superintendents, foremen, engineers, and client representatives on site.
• Ability to observe all on-site activities and provide consistent, detailed updates to the engineering team.

• Experience in environmental engineering, environmental technology, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience in environmental construction quality assurance (Environmental CQA).
• Experience with vapor intrusion system installation CQA on both small and large-scale projects.
• 40-hour HAZWOPER training preferred.
• 10-hour or 30-hour OSHA construction safety training preferred.
• Construction earthwork experience is a plus.
• Experience with environmental remediation projects is a plus.
• Familiarity with vapor intrusion projects involving VOCs, methane, hydrogen sulfide, or radon is beneficial.
