The Opportunity:
Tetra Tech is adding a LSRP Professional with experience in various phases of site remediation primarily under the New Jersey Site Remediation Act, but also with cases under Federal programs, the New York Brownfields Program, New York Superfund, New York City Office of Environmental Remedition, and Pennsylvania Act II. This role will be based in our Whitehouse Station, NJ Office or another Tetra Tech NJ/Eastern PA Office hub.

Your Impact:
Tetra Tech has an immediate opening for an LSRP with expertise in guiding cases through the Site Remediation Program in New Jersey, from the preliminary assessment and site investigation stage through remedial investigation, remedial action planning and implementation, and regulatory case closure. Equally important for this position is providing client management services and helping to expand our Environmental Remediation Practice business in the Mid-Atlantic region. The successful candidate will have established strong client connections. SWE has an expectation that these relationships will be maintained during the candidate’s transition to SWE and that the candidate will leverage these relationships to develop a portion of their project portfolio.
The LSRP position opened because our environmental remediation business is expanding rapidly in the region and because our projects are complex and highly technical, requiring several LSRPs to manage effectively. Tetra Tech’s remediation services include many complex sites that include remediation of both dense and light separate phase liquids (LNAPL and DNAPL), impacted groundwater in bedrock and tidally-influenced groundwater settings, and impacted shallow freshwater and saline sediments. Our clients include both public and private sector organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. This position will provide an opportunity for career growth while working on challenging and interesting projects. We expect that the role will include, but will not be limited to, the following:

The project manager will handle primary project communications. For projects where the LSRP is the project manager, Periodically and as needed, discuss with the client the project goals, project schedule, and remedial strategy. Maintain project schedule and budget. Prepare subcontractor agreements, adhere to client health and safety (and other) policies, and ensure the work is completed. Assist field staff with overcoming unexpected field conditions as they develop, solving such issues in real-time or directing the staff to the appropriate member of the project team. Coordinate data management with the project team, including the database manager as needed. On an as-needed basis, manage fieldwork, including assigning subcontractor and staff work, in consultation with our health and safety professionals. This may at times require field oversight. Make the client and/or project manager aware of recent and proposed regulatory changes, including changes to guidance documents, changes to forms, and changes to NJDEP review timeframes, among other things. Review information and documents generated by the project team, subcontractors, consultants for other potentially responsible parties, and other entities as needed. Relay comments and questions to the client and others as needed. Once Site Remediation Program documents, forms, and other submittals are finalized, complete LSRP certification requirements. Participate in periodic project team and client communications on a weekly, monthly, or as-needed basis. Coordinate and participate in meetings with the NJDEP. Respond to NJDEP comments in a timely manner, after discussing the responses with the client and the project team. Complete all activities listed above in accordance with the LSRP code of conduct.
