• Prepare daily field reports and testing summaries that document the work being performed.
• Perform Phase I due diligence and Phase II environmental investigations and evaluations.
• Support geophysical data collection and processing tasks.
• Assist with technical report preparation.
• Collaborate with other team members to meet reporting deliverables on projects and obtain further knowledge and experiences.
