Job Level: Entry Level

Home District/Group: Central District

Department: Environmental

Market: Transportation

Employment Type: Full Time

Position Overview

We are currently looking for an onsite Environmental Specialist or Engineer, to lead and oversee the environmental management practices of construction projects in the Heavy Civil infrastructure sector (Highway, Bridge, Aviation) and for civil scopes in Power. Initially, you will be located on a large Bridge Program in Louisville Kentucky. Once this project is completed, you will move onto another project within the district, which may be located in another state which could include CO, NE, TN, KS, MO, IA. In this role you will work with the construction team to oversee, coordinate and implement project wide environmental compliance programs and strategies. You will ensure the field team is aligned with federal, state and local environmental laws, to safeguard our projects from delays, violations, or fines. This is an exciting position where you will not only ensure compliance with legal and contractual environmental requirements for the project but also contribute to Kiewit's enduring dedication to corporate social responsibility. This is a great blend of regulatory interpretation, field inspections/auditing, hazards analysis, documentation/reporting, and permitting.

ENR ranks us as #4 in Construction, out of the top 100 General Contractors in North America, and we excel at delivering EPC projects, particularly in large-scale infrastructure projects. If you are looking for a career, with stability and a diverse portfolio of EPC projects to work on and want to work on hyperscale projects, look no further! We are an employee-owned company which fosters dedication and commitment to project success and are positioned as a key player in meeting growing infrastructure demands. We cultivate a culture of excellence, innovation and teamwork, making it the most rewarding place to build your career. This is a full time job with excellent benefits including a wealth-building 401K, per diem to projects and pay for trips home.
