- Assist with data evaluation, reporting, and other technical project deliverables.
- Utilize GIS and CAD tools to support environmental projects when applicable.
- Travel throughout Northern and Central Virginia and occasionally to other locations.
- Participate in a rotating weekend on-call schedule approximately every six weeks; weekend call-ins are relatively rare.

- Some overnight travel, approximately once per quarter.
