A DAY IN THE LIFE

Our Environmental Project Manager – Remediation Geologist, Engineer or Scientist position is located in Colorado. This position will support our client, a very large oil/gas operator in the DJ Basin. We plan to hire multiple team members into this position type, and anticipate growing our team in support of this project. There will be an initial period where this position will work out of the client office in Greeley, CO (roughly the first 4 weeks). After that, this position will be hybrid-remote, with the expectation that there will be client site visits, and some in-office work weekly. For that reason, we are only considering candidates who are local to the area (or willing to relocate), and agreeable to this work arrangement. This work consists of managing large portfolio projects, is fast-paced, can be technical in nature, and interaction with regulators is required.

• Simultaneously manage full-life cycle of several small to large-scale oil & gas remediation projects, each at different phases.

• Prepare and complete project deliverables.
• Prepare operational permits and programs to ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations and to control compliance costs. 
• Ensure environmental compliance of field and lab data with regard to permits and regulatory standards. 
• Keep up-to-date and current on industry trends by completing formal training, reviewing professional publications, and attending professional workshops.
• Practice safe work practices by following all Company safety rules and OSHA regulations, including attendance at all required safety training programs.
