Environmental Engineer

Description

Environmental Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing solutions that minimize the environmental impact of the company’s operations while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. This role combines technical expertise with problem-solving skills to design and manage systems that promote sustainability, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship.

• Planning, prioritization, and follow-through
• Audit scores and closure time for corrective actions (e.g., ≤ 30 days).
• Lead internal audits and readiness for regulatory inspections; close findings with robust CAPAs.
• Partner with Operations, Maintenance, and Logistics on scheduling, housekeeping, and operational controls.
• Facilitate incident investigations and root-cause analysis (RCA) for environmental events; implement preventive actions.
• Support SPCC planning, secondary containment integrity checks, and response procedures for spills/releases
• Design and maintain stormwater BMPs (e.g., containment, berms, oil-water separators, vegetated buffers, housekeeping).
• Deliver toolbox talks and targeted training (fugitive dust, visible emissions, SWPPP BMPs, sampling).
• Assist with community/neighbor communications and environmental data requests as needed.
• Develop and maintain SWPPP under applicable MSGP/NPDES permits, lead site inspections, corrective actions, and training.
• Develop, implement, and optimize dust control BMPs (e.g., water sprays, enclosures, surfactants, paved roads, speed limits).
• Drive continuous improvement projects that reduce emissions, offsite impacts, and compliance risk.
• Use engineering calculations (e.g., AP-42) and dispersion tools (e.g., AERMOD) to evaluate projects and compliance margins.
• Coordinate stormwater sampling, laboratory coordination, benchmark evaluation, and Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs).
• Track and submit required reports on time (e.g., deviation reports, semi-annual/annual certifications, TRI/Form R, Tier II).
• Oversee baghouses, filters, and control devices: inspections, leak testing, DP trends, and maintenance coordination.
• Plan and support stack/opacity testing (e.g., EPA Methods 5/201/202/9), CEMS/COMS where installed, and ambient monitoring as applicable.
• Lead fugitive dust management for material handling, conveying, loading/unloading (vessels, trucks, rail), and silo operations.
• Maintain records, SOPs, and dashboards for inspections, incidents, deviations, and corrective actions.
• Support contractor management and environmental clauses in vendor scopes (e.g., dust suppression, sweeping).

Requirements

Certifications (Preferred)

A hands-on Environmental Engineer with 3–5 years of experience to lead air quality compliance and stormwater pollution prevention at our industrial facilities. Experience in cement, aggregates, lime, or similar bulk materials sectors is a strong plus. The role focuses on compliance strategy, monitoring, permitting, and continuous improvement for particulate/fugitive emissions and stormwater controls across plants, terminals, and ports.

• Regulatory literacy & judgment
• Data accuracy & attention to detail
• ISO Certification
• Excellent communication skills (procedures, training, regulator and community interactions).
• Certified Stormwater Inspector (CSI) or similar.
• Visible Emissions Evaluator (EPA Method 9) certification.
• May be required to work at heights of up to 25 feet.
• EIT/FE or Professional Engineer (PE) track.
• % On-time regulatory filings (target ≥ 99%).
• Experience with SWPPP authoring/implementation and industrial stormwater sampling and reporting.
• Familiarity with Title V/NSR permitting, emissions inventories, AP-42 calculations, and visible emissions/opacity standards.
• Training completion rate for targeted audiences (≥ 95%).
• Own day-to-day compliance for particulate matter (PM10/PM2.5), opacity.
• B.S. in Environmental Engineering (or related field).
• This role may require time both in an office and field work at plants, terminals, and ports; frequent outdoor exposure and walking on uneven surfaces; ability to climb ladders and access elevated platforms with fall protection. Travel to regional sites up to ~25–40%.
• Standard requirements. Bending, squatting, climbing, stooping, twisting and reaching will all be required occasionally in this position in office and at the construction site.
• HAZWOPER (24/40-hr) and SPCC familiarity.
• Proficiency with Excel; exposure to AERMOD or similar modeling tools is a plus; Power BI/Tableau familiarity helpful.
• Strong field presence and ability to work at industrial sites (heights, confined spaces with proper permits, PPE).
• 3–5 years’ experience in industrial environmental compliance; cement, lime, aggregates, mining, or terminals experience preferred.
• Problem solving & RCA
• Opacity/PM exceedances and visible emissions events (target: zero; rapid containment if any).
• Working knowledge of U.S. federal and state air and water regulations (e.g., Clean Air Act, NPDES/MSGP, SPCC).
• Stormwater benchmark exceedances (frequency and closure time for CAPAs).
