Interested in making a difference to the planet? Want to work with a team of Environmental Chemists who care about the protection of human health and the environment? Are you seeking broad exposure to environmental remediation and Superfund-related cleanup processes with interaction with EPA on a regional level? Enjoy travelling for your work?
ICF is seeking experienced Program Managers in Environmental Chemistry to support an EPA contract, the Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT), across the country.

Coli, microcystin and other toxins, whole effluent toxicity, etc.), following EPA methods or consensus standards. The project assignments also include ambient air monitoring for priority pollutants, data validation for the Superfund and other programs, writing and reviewing quality assurance documents such as QAPPs and SAPs, ecological risk assessment (ERA), database management and support, management of national gravimetrical lab for PM 2.5 and PM10, subcontracting of environmental sample analysis, hydrogeological site characterization, GIS and spatial and non-spatial data handling, analysis of field sampling and analysis (to include fish and other biota collection), and warehouse support.
