VINCI . This is a VIE program, open to European citizens aged 18–28, fluent in English, with a university degree, and no prior VIE or work experience in the host country.
Our ambitious environmental goals need your ideas. Join us to build better together. At VINCI Construction, we build a more sustainable world through low‑carbon solutions, circular economy practices, and nature preservation.
In Chicago, VINCI Construction Major Projects is supporting the Red Line extension, adding 9 km of tracks and four new stations to improve mobility, reduce inequalities in transit access, and promote low‑carbon urban transportation.

Your Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to)
Oversee all environmental aspects of construction activities and ensure compliance with the Environmental Impact Management Plan, the Construction Process Plans and relevant HSE regulations.
Support teams with environmental risk assessments and develop site‑specific protocols (spill response, waste management, inspection checklists).
Attend safety meetings as required by Project Management, while promoting strong environmental and safety practices across the site.
Monitor environmental impacts, conduct inspections and audits, and ensure compliance with permits and regulations.
Advise site management on risks and improvements, analyse incidents and near misses, and follow up on corrective actions.
Lead ISO 14001 and internal audits, track progress of action plans, and maintain updated knowledge of standards and legal requirements.
Deliver toolbox talks, awareness sessions, and emergency preparedness drills.
Organise environmental training, workshops, and the Annual Environmental Week.
Communicate clearly with the workforce to embed good environmental practices.
Prepare reliable environmental reports and consolidate KPIs/extra‑financial indicators.
Improve data collection and reporting processes, support teams in meeting requirements, and maintain project documentation.
Analyse environmental and economic impacts to strengthen project performance.
Participate in environmental initiatives and working groups, test and integrate new solutions.
Develop a best‑practice catalogue to support ongoing improvement.
What about you?
You are an engineering school or university graduate, with a degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field.
You understand the basics of environmental audit standards and safety programmes (firefighting is a bonus!).
You are proficient in Power BI, SharePoint, and Excel for data analysis, visualization, and storage.
You are structured, self‑driven and able to juggle audits, reporting, and on‑site follow‑ups.
You are a creative thinker who approaches environmental challenges with innovative solutions.
You have curiosity and sociability, enabling you to integrate quickly, adapt to different environments, and engage with on‑site teams.
You are comfortable communicating in English, both written and spoken.
Having a driving licence is necessary.
Next Steps If you are interested, let’s meet! We’ll start with a quick phone call to align expectations, then a second Teams meeting if we are aligned. Finally, you will meet the RLE Project’s Environment Manager.
Why us? We’ll give you three reasons why this opportunity might be perfect for you:
You’re starting your career – VIE offers the equivalent of 5 years of experience in 2 years.
You need mentors – We provide experienced professionals and a strong peer network.
You want an environment that keeps you on your toes – you’ll handle your own projects.
