Are you an experienced scientist or engineer who can dig into the details and figure out how things work? Have you applied practical skills and project management expertise to solve operational challenges? Do you work collaboratively with others, including people with experiential knowledge? GRT may be the place for you.

GRT's Resource Regeneration Facility receives trucks & barges of unwanted soil, then washes and sorts the soil to produce clean rock products for reuse. As GRT's Project Scientist/Engineer, you will develop and demonstrate a high level of understanding for GRT's operational processes. You'll use this expertise-along with your background in applied science or engineering-to support the team with data collection and analysis, project management and technical improvements. Your time will be shared between working "hands-on" with GRT's management and operations staff to improve facility performance-including planning and implementing trials-and managing special soil movement projects that require extra planning and coordination.

This is an intermediate level role with no direct reports; success in this position requires an ability to communicate and work with ease across/among teams (office staff and plant crew). The salary range is $70,000-$100,000 per year, based on experience.
