Environmental Technician - Remediation

AECOM is seeking an experienced Environmental Technician to support environmental remediation, demolition, and site restoration projects for a variety of clients. The site is located in Pompton Lakes, NJ.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in supervising union and non‑union labor, managing heavy equipment operations, and directing field crews on complex environmental cleanup projects. Experience with Superfund or industrial decommissioning is strongly desired; however, any experience within Environmental Remediation fieldwork will be prioritized.

Responsibilities

• Lead daily field operations for remediation, demolition, excavation, cap placement, trenching, and site restoration activities.
• Supervise union and non‑union equipment operators, laborers, teamsters, drillers, and subcontractors on active project sites.
• Coordinate work sequencing, equipment use, contractor activities, and daily production goals to maintain schedule and quality.
• Drive strict adherence to work plans, construction specifications, and environmental controls.

• Oversee pump‑and‑treat system operations, including monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimization.
• Manage vapor intrusion mitigation systems at residential locations, ensuring compliance with design and regulatory requirements.
• Direct general groundwater sampling programs and support RCRA‑related activities, including waste characterization and reporting.
• Perform miscellaneous maintenance tasks aligned with remediation systems and site infrastructure.
• Support waste handling, packaging, and disposal logistics, including compliance with regulatory requirements and disposal site criteria.
• Monitor field conditions, contamination controls, dust suppression, stormwater BMPs, and equipment decontamination zones.

• Serve as an on‑site safety representative, enforcing AECOM safety policies and project‑specific Health and Safety Plans.
• Correct unsafe behaviours and conditions immediately and elevate issues to project management when needed.
• Maintain compliance with applicable federal (OSHA) and/or state regulatory requirements.

• Support development and execution of Field Sampling Plans, QAPPs, SSHPs, and project work plans.
• Maintain daily logs, production reports, safety records, equipment logs, and subcontractor documentation.
• Assist in preparing progress reports, regulatory documentation, and closure reports.
• Coordinate with regulatory inspectors and client representatives during field activities.

• Serve as the primary on‑site point of contact between subcontractors, project managers, safety staff, and client representatives.
• Participate in project scheduling, constructability reviews, and planning of field mobilizations/demobilizations.
• Communicate daily progress, changes, and issues to project management and regulatory partners.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma and 4+ years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and education.

• 10 years of experience in remediation (operations and maintenance) or site supervision.
• Experience working with union labor forces and complex multi‑stakeholder field sites.
• Strong background supervising field crews, subcontractors, and heavy equipment operations.
• Experience on EPA Superfund, DOD, DOE, NRC, or USACE‑managed remediation projects.

• CPR/First Aid certification.
• OSHA 40‑Hour HAZWOPER certification.

• Strong understanding of field safety, heavy construction techniques, and environmental controls.
• Ability to create clear daily logs, field reports, and documentation.
• Successful candidate will pass client‑required drug screening, background check, and motor vehicle records check.

Due to the nature of the role, U.S. citizenship is required; sponsorship will not be available.
