SUMMARY
The Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Professional position provides an associate with field/task based work. The ideal candidate likes to be active, on the move, and enjoys working remotely and independently.

Associates work in the field four to five days per week, reporting to different client sites each day to accomplish a variety of tasks based on client needs. Associates typically report to the office in the morning to gather equipment and paperwork needed for the day, prior to driving to the clients location. When on the client site, employees can expect to complete different assessments and inventories. Work may include: compressed gas assessments, chemical inventories, confined space assessments, trainings, AHERA building inspections, noise monitoring and such.

IEA associates work very independently – Therefore, they must have effective time management skills, be trustworthy, responsible, have good decision making skills and know when to ask for assistance.

The associate would also be expected to attend trainings to be certified to conduct air monitoring on asbestos removal project sites. The monitoring is to ensure that asbestos exposure is not occurring on the outside of the containment and to confirm removal workers are following the outlined specifications.
