Environmental Advisors and Engineers, Inc. (EAE) is seeking part-time and full-time mid to senior level environmental engineer or scientist with extensive commercial property environmental assessment and investigation experience combined with an interest in taking on more responsibility and diversifying his/her/their skillset. This position offers a diverse opportunity with a rapidly growing small business focused on high-quality technical services and excellent client care.

The environmental staff member will work closely with other professional staff to assist clients in developing environmental policies, providing environmental consulting, and conducting due diligence associated with property transactions nationwide.
