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
