Description
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.
Why Tetra Tech:
At Tetra Tech, we are Leading with Science® to solve the world's most complex challenges. Our industry-leading experts in engineering and consulting are committed to driving positive change in communities around the world. For over 50 years, we have been at the forefront of innovation and sustainability. Today we stand as a market leader, offering cutting-edge solutions in water, environment, energy, and international development. Our work has improved more than 500 million lives around the world.
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:
Your Role:
- Manage multi-disciplinary projects while working either within a group or independently.
- Develop new business using existing or new client relationships. In supporting the growth of our Environmental Remediation Practice, prepare proposals, evaluate levels of effort, and estimate project cost.
- Mentor junior project team members.
- Act as LSRP of Record for multiple cases, on multiple project sites, and for multiple clients. Manage your workload effectively to complete document review, project management tasks (if both the LSRP and project manager for a site), and other tasks on schedule.
- Prioritize activities and submittals to ensure each progresses towards regulatory case closure in accordance with the project schedule and NJDEP regulatory and mandatory timeframes.
- For projects where the LSRP is not the project manager, assist the project manager in developing a project schedule and remedial strategy. 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.

The successful candidate must hold a valid Licensed Site Remediation Professional licensure in New Jersey.
Requires a minimum of 10 years of experience in environmental remediation services. Between 10 and 20 years of experience is preferred.
Requires broad knowledge of regulations and guidance related to site remediation in New Jersey, including with the Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), Underground Storage Tank (UST) remediation, and the New Jersey Spill Act.

Experience conducting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and Preliminary Assessments is preferred.
