Versar is seeking a self-motivated Senior Professional (Civil/Environmental Engineer or Geologist/Hydrogeologist) to support our National Remediation Programs (NRP) Group. Choose one of our traditional office locations at (www.versar.com) or a Work From Home (WFH)/remote position. The selected individual will be working on private industry/commercial and/or federal sector contracts with either the Department of Defense (Air Force, USACE, Army, Navy, National Guard Bureau) or Environmental Protection Agency. The successful candidate must provide technical leadership, subject matter expertise, and broad-based multidisciplinary oversight to proposal and project teams, conducting both internal and external client-facing meetings related to project work, training/mentoring junior staff, and providing creative problem-solving leadership. Must have subject matter expertise in one or more specific areas of remedial action engineering (e.g., site remediation optimization/exit strategy development; vapor intrusion/vapor migration; wood-treating, creosote, or MGP sites; Power Plant decommissioning/demolition/decontamination; and Coal Combustion Residuals) or hydrology/hydrogeology (e.g., aquifer testing and analysis; 3D groundwater flow and solute transport modeling; high resolution site characterization (HRSC); groundwater hydraulic control, recovery, and treatment; and/or surface water hydrologic simulation).

Primary duties and day-to-day responsibilities include ANY combination of the following with the opportunity to learn and gain experience with on-the-job training to advance your starting skills:

• Technical leadership for hazardous waste remediation under CERCLA and RCRA programs throughout the project life cycle with focus on exit strategy and remedy implementation and completion.
• Subject matter expertise (SME) in one or more specific areas of remedial engineering, geology, or chemistry (e.g., site optimization, vapor intrusion/vapor migration, critical process analysis, risk and exposure assessment, HRSC, biological processes, PFAS, system upgrades and technology advancements, etc.).
• Demonstration of SME for the analysis, design, installation, and operation of treatment strategies for wastes in soil, groundwater, air, sediment, drinking water, and providing engineering and scientific expertise to protect human health and the environment.
• Provide definitive knowledge related to site investigation and remediation technology, HRSC technology providers and services, products, vendors, subcontractors, lab scale/bench scale testing firms, and other subcontractors, consultants, and team partners to create robust teams for complex problems.
• Ability to understand and drive Risk Management for remediation strategies including development of Risk Registers, Risk Monitoring Plans, contingent activities and Contingency Plans.
• Provide overall site management for both proposed sites and existing sites, including development of technical remediation approach, cost estimation, schedule development, identification of critical milestones, planning, reporting, and formal project management.
• Provide input and develop written technical reports for delivery to clients, perform quality control review, and maintain deliverables of high quality to meet internal and client requirements.
• Independently manage tasks and work with other Project/Program Managers on a variety of environmental projects.
• Provide direction, instruction, training and leadership to support staff as a mentor for your work/sites.
• Perform background research, gather information, interpret laboratory, and field data to support technical activities. Evaluate data reports and draw comparison of results with similar analysis.
• Attend site visits, observe, and evaluate client programs and activities.
• Follow Versar policies and systems for purchasing, procurement, project management and reporting, business development and marketing, and project financial status reporting to management.
• Remain highly cognizant of environmental regulations and new requirements in the U.S.
• Interact with client and regulatory agencies as needed to support site work.

Specialized and highly desirable skills in the following areas will get immediate attention:

• Project/proposal Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), Work Packages, and Project Planning – understanding how to formulate tasks and plan activities to meet a project’s objectives.
• Cost Estimating – using WBS and Work Packages (from (1) above) to develop costs for project labor, supplies, materials, equipment, and defining subcontractor requirements. Develop solid technical scopes of work to solicit competitive bids from qualified subcontractors to support the project and meet objectives. Costs may be derived from master databases (RSMeans, Craftsman Cost Data, etc.), bids, bottoms-up estimates, vendors/suppliers, or other sources)
• Demonstrated ability to use Microsoft PROJECT (or related) to build a master schedule for projects by creating relationships to various tasks and work products in the schedule, defining milestones, and allocating costs to those milestones to create a payment schedule.
• Ability to lead or significantly contribute to large proposal efforts that require the skills described above.
• Experience working with or for USACE/AFCEC, especially as pertains to remediation and performance-based contracts.

Job Requirements

• B.S. in Geology, Civil Engineering, or Environmental Engineering required (M.S. preferred).
• 12-20 years of demonstrated professional consulting experience as a Technical Professional, or related position in a progressively responsible capacity providing staff management, project management, BD-marketing-proposals, and proven technical excellence.
• Knowledge of environmental regulations required.
• Professional Engineer/Professional Geologist certification required.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, or ability to obtain within 1 year.
