The Environmental Field Supervisor is responsible for supporting environmental services during an emergency response and on non-ER projects. They will work closely with project managers and project technical directors to support environmental data, documentation, and advisory needs during a project. The Environmental Field Supervisor will typically assume roles in field and environmental data collection and research. They will provide technical advice and documentation to the client and coordinate with field personnel, data managers, project managers, project technical directors, and quality managers to ensure quality environmental data and reporting. Utilizing their knowledge of various scientific disciplines, they may collect, synthesize, study, report, and act based on data derived from measurements or observations of air, food, soil, water, and other sources. They will assist CTEH ER leadership to ensure environmental response preparedness through internal training, development of internal documentation, and maintenance of environmental equipment. All Environmental Field Supervisors maintain a response bag with company issued PPE and appropriate work clothing. This role is also subject to on-call rotation for emergency response and frequent, extended travel. The on-call rotation duties may extend to satellite offices as necessary.
