• Prepare clear, accurate technical reports with actionable recommendations to mitigate hazards.
• Coordinate with sub‑consultants, contractors, and internal team members to ensure successful project completion.
• Maintain documentation and follow company policies, leveraging technology like ERP and Document Control software to optimize efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health, Biology, Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2–4 years of progressive experience in Industrial Hygiene.
• Active or in-progress Asbestos and Mold certifications.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to meet deadlines while producing high‑quality work.
