team leadership
client communication
mentor training
The position’s impact includes interpreting complex chemical interactions in industrial materials, soils, groundwater, wastewater, mixed waste, and treatment systems. It involves leading multidisciplinary teams of engineers, hydrogeologists, toxicologists, and process designers across industrial, chemical manufacturing, transportation, energy, and federal portfolios. The chemist will review analytical data, evaluate degradation products, develop defensible chemical models, and drive innovative treatability and advanced analytical strategies.
Key responsibilities also cover translating chemistry findings into actionable guidance for clients, regulators, laboratories, and partners, while articulating limitations, risks, and uncertainties. Technical leadership requires building a strong chemistry bench, reviewing work, training early‑career chemists, setting quality standards, and expanding internal competency in industrial and environmental chemistry.
