What We’re Looking For At Black River, we are all talented, self-motivated, and purpose-driven professionals who manage our time and consistently deliver great work. Additional preferred qualifications and experience for our next team member include:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Geology, or Hydrogeology.

Strong technical writing and communication skills.
Ability to work remotely, independently and collaboratively on field and office tasks.
Current 40-hour HAZWOPER certification (or ability to obtain).Professional licensure (EIT, GIT, PE, LG, LHG) in Washington State.
Experience with Washington State cleanup regulations (MTCA) is required.
Why Black River?
