About the Role The Senior Environmental Health Specialist – PM Track, based in Chicago, IL serves as a bridge between technical fieldwork and project leadership. This role is built for an experienced EHS professional who is ready to grow into independent project management — gaining hands-on exposure to client engagement, proposal development, budgeting, and report preparation while continuing to apply deep technical expertise in the field. Day-to-day, you'll work alongside senior Project Managers on projects spanning asbestos, lead, mold, industrial hygiene, and broader Environmental Health & Safety disciplines. On the ground, you'll conduct site surveys and inspections, oversee abatement activities, and monitor job sites for safety and regulatory compliance. Behind the scenes, you'll contribute to the full project lifecycle — from scoping and proposals to final deliverables.
