Environmental engineers write a memo and remedial cost basis
Environmental Consultant Needed – 3-4 Page Causation Memo (Petroleum Impacts, USTs, Chemicals, Operations)
Project Overview
We are seeking an experienced Environmental Consultant with strong technical writing skills to prepare a 2 page causation memo that clearly and defensibly ties observed petroleum impacts to on‑site storage tanks, chemicals, and historical/ongoing operations. This memo will be used for internal decision‑making, insurance communication, and potential regulatory follow‑up.
Deliverable
A detailed and compressive, professional causation memo that includes:
1. Causation Analysis
• Clear explanation of how identified petroleum impacts relate to:
• aboveground storage tanks (USTs/ASTs)
• Stored chemicals and petroleum products
• Operational practices, historical usage, and site activities
• Discussion of likely release mechanisms, timing, and pathways
• Summary of supporting evidence (sampling data, site history, operational records, etc.)
2. Remedial Scope & Cost Basis
• High‑level remedial approach based on the identified impacts
• Conceptual scope of work (e.g., excavation, soil removal, groundwater treatment, monitoring)
• Order‑of‑magnitude cost basis or cost drivers
• Any assumptions or data gaps that influence cost or scope
3. Professional Formatting
• Memo must be clear, defensible, and suitable for sharing with stakeholders
• Citations to relevant standards, regulatory frameworks, or industry guidance (if applicable)
Ideal Candidate
• Environmental scientist, geologist, engineer, or consultant with 5+ years of experience
• Strong background in petroleum contamination, UST/AST investigations, and Phase II ESA work
• Demonstrated ability to write clear, concise, regulator‑ready technical memos
• Familiarity with remedial cost estimating and conceptual site models (CSMs)
What We Will Provide
• Available site data (sampling results, historical reports, photos, operational info)
• Any prior environmental assessments or relevant documentation
• Clarification on site history and operational context as needed
How to Apply
Please include:
• A brief summary of your relevant experience
• Examples of similar memos or technical writing (redacted is fine)
• Due by March 1, 2026
• Your fixed price or hourly estimate for this assignment
