About this role

Quanterra Environmental Consulting seeks an experienced Environmental Remediation Engineer to lead subsurface characterization, remedial design, and remediation oversight for contaminated sites across the Powder River Basin and surrounding regions. You'll manage complex CERCLA and RCRA projects, interface with EPA and state regulators, direct field investigations, and oversee remedial construction. This role requires strong technical foundation in hydrogeology, contaminant transport, and remedial technologies, with proven ability to manage multi-million-dollar projects and regulatory compliance.

Key responsibilities

• Lead subsurface characterization studies including soil/groundwater sampling, well installation, and contaminant delineation
• Design and implement remedial action programs; select and justify remediation technologies (in-situ, ex-situ, monitored natural attenuation)
• Develop Remedial Investigations (RI), Feasibility Studies (FS), Remedial Design (RD), and Remedial Action Plans compliant with CERCLA and RCRA regulations
• Conduct groundwater and vapor intrusion modeling using FEFLOW, COMSOL, or equivalent finite element software
• Direct field investigations and remedial construction activities; manage drilling contractors and environmental consultants
• Prepare technical reports, regulatory correspondence, and regulatory agency presentations
• Manage project budgets ($500K–$5M+) and timelines; coordinate with site managers, regulatory agencies, and legal counsel

Absolute requirements (non-negotiable)

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in Civil, Environmental, or Geological Engineering; Wyoming P.E. or ability to obtain via reciprocity within 6 months

• Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Hydrogeology, or Geology (or equivalent 5+ years experience if B.S. in related field)
• Advanced proficiency in groundwater modeling software (FEFLOW, COMSOL, MODFLOW, or equivalent); experience with vapor intrusion modeling
• Demonstrated regulatory interface experience — direct experience presenting to EPA, state agencies, or Potentially Responsible Parties
  

Preferred qualifications

• Certified Hydrogeologist (CHg) or Environmental Professional (CEP) certification
• Experience with in-situ remediation technologies (air sparging, soil vapor extraction, pump-and-treat, thermal remediation)
• Hands-on experience directing drill rigs and well installations; familiarity with drilling methods (rotary, cable-tool, direct-push)
• GIS and data management experience (ArcGIS, Leica Geosystems); groundwater database design
• Experience with Powder River Basin geology, stratigraphic framework, and regional hydrogeology
• Background in petroleum or mining-related contamination and legacy site remediation
• Project management software proficiency (Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar)
  

Technical competencies

• Contaminant transport and fate modeling
• Fate and transport of DNAPL, LNAPL, chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and inorganic contaminants
• Groundwater flow and solute transport theory
• Risk assessment and risk-based corrective action (RBCA)
• Vapor intrusion assessment and mitigation design
• Hydrogeologic characterization and conceptual site models
• Statistical analysis and data quality validation

What we offer

• Salary $95K–$135K based on experience and credentials
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; HSA-eligible plan
• 401(k) with 5% company match
• Paid time off (25 days) and professional development budget ($3,000/year)
