Environmental Project Director - Phase Environmental Professional

Description

CREtelligent is seeking a Phase I Environmental Professional to join our Akron, Ohio office on a hybrid schedule. In this role, you will be responsible for completing Phase I Environmental Site Assessments from start to finish, evaluating environmental risk, interpreting historical and regulatory information, and preparing high-quality reports that help our clients make informed real estate and lending decisions.

This position is ideal for an environmental professional who enjoys technical analysis, critical thinking, and report preparation, while minimizing travel. Most work is office-based, with only occasional field work when needed to support the team. Our hybrid schedule provides the flexibility to work from home while maintaining strong collaboration with colleagues in the office.

Experience with Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) is a plus but not required.
