Sediment Remediation Specialist (Engineer, Scientist or Geologist)

CDM Smith is a company committed to offering an unmatched employee experience, and they are seeking a Sediment Remediation Specialist. The role involves modeling contaminant transport through sediment caps and utilizing CAD for remediation projects, while collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team on various sediment remediation initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Understanding the scientific and engineering principles of modeling contaminant fate and transport through sediment caps in subaqueous systems. Experience with CapSim is preferred
• Experience using CAD to develop drawings for contaminated sediment dredging and/or soil excavation projects, including an ability to follow direction from a senior engineer with minimal continual oversight
• Experience performing slope stability modeling
• Experience with the development of field sampling programs and subsequent data analyses to support the development of conceptual site models, mass balances, and data-based understanding of fate and transport processes. This would include experience with interpreting results from sediment cores, bathymetric surveys, etc
• Experience with numerical and/or desktop model development, calibration, and application
• Experience evaluating the feasibility of sediment remediation technologies and assisting in the development of sediment remediation designs for large contaminated sediment sites involving multiple stakeholders
• Serve as CDM Smith’s primary interface with clients on complicated sediment tasks; this includes having the ability to assess and understand a problem and develop and communicate a technical strategy to the client

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree
• 5 years of related experience
• An appropriate and valid driver's license is required
• Experience modeling contaminant transport through sediment caps
• A working knowledge of computer-aided design (CAD) in remediation projects combined with basic geotechnical engineering experience (significant academic coursework may suffice) related to remediation projects
• Demonstrated expertise working independently and as a member of a multi-disciplinary team on remediation projects for a variety of clients including those in the Federal and Public sector
• Understanding the scientific and engineering principles of modeling contaminant fate and transport through sediment caps in subaqueous systems
• Experience using CAD to develop drawings for contaminated sediment dredging and/or soil excavation projects
• Experience performing slope stability modeling
• Experience with the development of field sampling programs and subsequent data analyses to support the development of conceptual site models, mass balances, and data-based understanding of fate and transport processes
• Experience with interpreting results from sediment cores, bathymetric surveys, etc
