Job description

About Us At Onterris, we build careers grounded in purpose, responsibility and real-world impact. “For Planet and Progress” is our north star that guides everything we do. We believe environmental responsibility and human progress are interconnected, interwoven and international. Our scientists, engineers, field teams, consultants and professionals collaborate across disciplines and geographies, guiding industries and governments, ensuring that communities and environments thrive. When you join us, you’re not just forging a career, you’re joining a movement. A movement for better thinking, smarter solutions and lasting impact. Together, we will advance our way of life and protect the integrity of our environment every step of the way. A Day in the Life Onterris is seeking a Senior Environmental Engineer with NY PE to provide technical engineering and project leadership in support of our environmental assessment, remediation, and National Brownfields practice. This position will primarily support our New York team while collaborating with multidisciplinary project teams across the United States. Our team focus is Brownfields. Our work spans the full lifecycle of contaminated-site assessment and remediation. The successful candidate will be involved in environmental due diligence, site characterization, and development of investigation strategies. The role also provides opportunities to carry projects beyond assessment into alternatives evaluation, engineering design, demolition and redevelopment planning, remedial implementation, construction, and site closure. Our project portfolio includes unique work that can be difficult to encounter elsewhere in environmental consulting. Our teams are currently supporting the assessment and cleanup of historic sites ranging from World War II-era military properties in the Aleutian Islands to former oil and gas exploration sites, and properties associated with historic gold-mining activities in Alaska. These assignments present unusual environmental and logistical challenges, including remote access, rugged terrain, limited infrastructure, weather constraints, and short field seasons. For applicants interested in field participation, opportunities may include travel to the Aleutian Islands and other parts of Alaska. In New York, our work includes the assessment and redevelopment of large former industrial and commercial properties where environmental investigation and remediation may intersect with demolition, regulated building materials, site grading, infrastructure improvements, fill management, wetlands, and future development plans. These projects provide opportunities to work across multiple phases of a site's environmental lifecycle and to solve practical problems at the intersection of environmental assessment, remediation, engineering, construction, and redevelopment. The successful candidate will work alongside engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, chemists, data specialists, project managers, and field professionals on projects involving a broad range of contaminants and environmental challenges, including petroleum, chlorinated solvents, metals, PCBs, vapor intrusion, contaminated soil and groundwater, regulated building materials, demolition, and remedial construction. Responsibilities may range from planning and managing environmental investigations to developing engineering evaluations and designs, preparing construction documents, providing technical review, supporting remedial implementation, and serving as a lead engineer on complex projects. The position offers a blend of independent technical work, multidisciplinary collaboration, project management, and field involvement. Our New York team is highly collaborative and works in a fast-paced environment where staff routinely support one another across disciplines. This position offers the opportunity to take on meaningful technical responsibility, help strengthen and expand our engineering capabilities, and work
