Weston has a significant backlog of work involving PFAS and other emerging contaminants (i.e., remedial investigation, feasibility studies, remediation design, interim measures, implementation of remedial actions, design-build projects, and system operations) for both private and federal sector clients. We foresee continued growth and technical advancement in this area.
As a leader within Weston, you will share your technical knowledge and view on PFAS, 1,4-dioxane, and/or other applicable subjects to our Emerging Contaminants and Remediation Communities of Practice. The successful candidate will have a successful work history of environmental investigation and remediation projects with experience working on PFAS related projects. This position requires excellent written and verbal communication, polished client presentation skills, organization of complex information, team leadership, and time management. The successful individual will be one who thrives in a team-oriented environment and is able to determine what is next. Flexibility to work on a multitude of diverse projects, a positive attitude, willingness to mentor junior staff, and commitment to workplace health and safety are imperative. Limited field work will be required including investigation support, observation of site conditions pilot startups, and oversight of subcontractors. Travel to Weston offices, client facilities, and project sites is anticipated to average 20% of your work time.
