Our Environment Team and Projects
Our Environment group is nearly 100 strong throughout our Northeast offices. The work we do covers site assessment, remediation, wetland science, regulatory compliance, environmental permitting, and other ways we can support client work with state and local governments, utilities, private clients, industry, colleges, and hospitals.

What will you be doing?
You will be doing a mixture of field work, report preparation, and permit application writing. You will coordinate with field teams performing botanical, wetlands, and wildlife surveys. You will perform natural resource surveys including wetland delineations and functional assessments, wildlife habitat evaluations and rare species surveys, including including soil characterization and plant species identification. You will coordinate with client and project teams for permit requirements and prepare studies and technical reports. You will also be involved in environmental compliance monitoring and participate in public hearings.

What do you need?
You should have five years of experience working in environmental consulting or a similar field with a BS or MS in an environmental or natural sciences field with coursework in biology, hydrology, botany, and soils. You should have a demonstrated ability to independently lead wetland delineation and field data collection and some experience with permitting at the federal, state, and local level. You should also have technical writing skills and presentation skills. If you had other certifications such as Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) or other stormwater inspector certification, that would be helpful. You should like being outside and have the willingness to work in physically challenging outdoor situations in all types of weather and traveling on an as-needed basis to project sites.

The environment we live in has a huge impact on our health. Think about it. Is the air we breathe clean? Is the water contaminated? How will temperature and moisture levels affect the growth of toxic molds? It is for these reasons, along with myriad others, that the Army National Guard needs Environmental Scientists to join our team of Medical Corps Officers. As an Environmental Scientist and an Officer on the U.S. Army Health Care Team, your knowledge of biology, environmental health, and industrial hygiene will help prevent illness and injury. Now is your chance to ensure the health and vitality of the men and women who stand ready to respond when something threatens the community, the State, or the Nation. But you won't stand apart from these heroes. You will stand among them as a commissioned Medical Corps Officer in the Army National Guard. In so doing, you will increase your knowledge and learn the latest techniques in our collaborative environment. When you practice in your community and serve when needed, you'll enhance your skills by working alongside health care professionals who share your passion for excellence while eliminating the distractions typically found in a civilian practice, such as office management or overhead.
Earn While You Learn
The Army National Guard Medical Team can be a great place to start your health care career or an inspiring place to lead others with your experience and expertise. Either way, it's an outstanding way to serve your country and help others. Medical Professional Officers are required to complete an initial military orientation and training course lasting 26 days in San Antonio, TX, at Fort Sam Houston. The trainers are fellow Medical Professional Officers.
