Job Description

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. No sponsorship is available for this position.

Ramboll is seeking highly motivated and inquisitive candidates to join our Environment and Health due diligence consulting practice in our Dallas, Texas office and have some familiarity with the metropolitan areas in Texas. We are also open to considering candidates in the San Antonio or Austin area.  Our ideal candidate will understand the nuances of performing Phase I environmental site assessments and have a working knowledge of the environmental laws and regulations as they pertain to compliance for industrial and manufacturing operations in Texas.

Due diligence site assessment will include reconnaissance of industrial /manufacturing sites to evaluate their potential for having impacted the site soils and/or groundwater with contamination. Often the assessment will include evaluation of the facility’s compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulatory laws and regulations for waste, air quality, and water quality programs regarding their current and historical chemical use, storage, disposal practices, and equipment maintenance .  Subsequently, you will prepare associated plans, permits, and reports for our clients facilities. Many of these site evaluations will include due diligence for real estate transactions toward property development or re-development. The resulting client deliverable is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) according to the current ASTM standard, and may also include SPCC Plan, or SWPPPs, etc. Applicability of regulatory compliance laws and regulations are an essential part of the services we provide, and your prudent evaluation of risks present and determining the probability for agency actions is a vital part of why our clients view as their trusted advisors.

Your demonstrated ability to prepare clear written assessments and reports summarizing site conditions will support our national and multi-national clients at their facilities or target facilities primarily Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. These assessments will involve interactions and communications with clients, regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and fellow colleagues. You know how to quickly research a large variety of data sources in your efforts to prepare your reports and evaluations. Most importantly, we favor sustainable site solutions in developing your conclusions and opinions.

You will refine your knowledge of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) rules/regulations (including TRRP) and USEPA regulatory requirements guidance documents while assessing environmental impacts arising from proposed development/re-development in relation to potential contaminants and environmental compliance and permitting requirements. GIS/CAD maps use is an integral part of our work and your proficiency in developing them is a plus.

Your new role

You will join our Environment & Health department. From the moment you join Ramboll, we will support your personal and professional development so that you grow with the company. As our Environmental M&A Due Diligence and Compliance Consultant, you will be part of our interdisciplinary team and apply your evaluation skills to solve environmental problems.

Interdisciplinary Opportunities

Ramboll is a company where you will work with many different scientific and engineering disciplines. Some efforts you may be involved with or asked to perform may include analyzing environmental field data to support fate and transport and extent and magnitude of contamination determinations for the evaluation of site closure options. This also may include developing clean-up goals for contaminated sites using federal and state environmental regulations; assisting in the preparation and editing of technical reports; oversight of field projects and management of subcontractors, collecting environmental and/or residential/institutional samples during soil boring and monitor well installation, remedial excavation, and underground storage tank removals. Investigation projects require planning of monitoring well placement, construction, development, sampling, and investigation-derived waste characterization and management for disposal.

ESG/Sustainability also plays a role in our due diligence of company and property transactions that can include developing framework understanding of sustainable operations and relationships.  Climate risk and resiliency modeling, assessment of weather-related impacts, and supply chain vulnerability are disciplines our clients depend on Ramboll to provide.

Wetland and stream assessment is inherently involved with property development in many areas and knowledge of the NEPA regulatory framework along with field characterization is an area many of our professionals are involved with. These wetland field assessments sometime lead to preparing jurisdictional determinations, preparing NEPA permits, and obtaining mitigation banking credits for our clients.
