Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen
Protecting Washington State’s environment for current and future generations is what we do every day at Ecology. We are a culture that is invested in making a difference. If you want to join a team that is highly effective, collaborative, has leadership that embraces the value of people, and believes in the fun factor, Ecology is a good fit.
The Toxics Cleanup Program (TCP) within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Sediment / Pollution Source Control (Environmental Engineer 2) position. This position will work within the Aquatic Lands Cleanup Unit (ALCU) housed in our Headquarters Building in Lacey, WA.
This position serves as a professional environmental engineer to control source contamination onto aquatic lands. This work requires professional-level working knowledge of hydrological principles, environmental engineering, sediment cleanup and source control (e.g. BMP) practices, and laws/regulations including the NPDES Section of the Clean Water Act, the Water Pollution Control Act, the Model Toxics Control Act Cleanup Regulation and the Sediment Management Standards. This position will facilitate and successfully coordinate with site managers and program staff on source control, cleanup, and policy development.
We are looking for someone who has strong interpersonal communication skills, can effectively multitask, and has the aptitude to understand and incorporate complex regulations while differentiating between sometimes discrete site variables.
This opportunity allows you to help protect resources in a sustainable manner, work with a variety of regulations, and to meet and interact with a lot of different people in different programs within Ecology and outside of Ecology.
