Our employees describe us as team-oriented, caring, flexible, and driven by our standards of integrity. In addition to our competitive benefit package, we also have robust, award-winning wellness, professional growth, employee development training and community volunteer programs, and we support a hybrid work environment that balances the ability to work in the office and from home, when needed.

Environmental Compliance Specialist Duties and Responsibilities:

The Environmental Compliance Specialist will be a member of the HELIX biology division and will work collaboratively with our team to provide a full range of environmental compliance services to our clients, including:

  • Supporting biology project managers by overseeing the environmental compliance on projects including assembling and overseeing multi-disciplinary technical monitoring teams; preparing environmental compliance documentation; tracking schedules and budgets; interfacing with contractors, clients, agency personnel, and others regarding environmental compliance.
  • Assist with identifying, rectifying, and reporting all noncompliance project items.
  • Assist with other project deliverables such as compliance reporting requirements and maintaining and organizing project details, schedules, and budgets.
