Resume Checker for Environmental Scientists

Environmental consulting firms (AECOM, WSP, Arcadis) and government agencies (EPA, state DEQs) use ATS to screen candidates. Regulatory framework knowledge is filtered as individual keywords. Common environmental scientist resume issues: • "Environmental work" without naming specific regulations (NEPA, RCRA, CERCLA, Clean Water Act) • No GIS proficiency — ArcGIS or QGIS is a baseline requirement for 90%+ of positions • Field work not quantified — samples collected, sites assessed, acres surveyed • Phase I/II ESA experience absent despite being a core consulting deliverable

Our AI checks for: • Regulations: NEPA, RCRA, CERCLA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, TSCA, ESA • Assessments: Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, EIA, EIS, EA, wetland delineation • Remediation: in-situ, ex-situ, monitored natural attenuation, pump-and-treat, soil vapor extraction • GIS: ArcGIS, QGIS, spatial analysis, GPS mapping, remote sensing • Sampling: soil, groundwater, air quality, PFAS, VOC, metals, asbestos • Sustainability: ESG, carbon footprint, GHG Protocol, ISO 14001, LEED, net-zero • Permits: NPDES, stormwater, air quality, wetland mitigation, Section 404

1. Lead with regulatory framework expertise — regulations are binary ATS filters 2. List GIS and field software prominently (ArcGIS, Trimble, EQuIS, Enviro Data) 3. Quantify field work: "35 Phase I ESAs, 480 water samples, 24-well monitoring network" 4. Name specific contaminants and EPA methods (EPA 8260, EPA 537 for PFAS) 5. Include permits handled with permit type and issuing authority 6. Add ESG and sustainability keywords for private-sector roles

Environmental Consulting: • Phase I/II ESAs, remediation design, due diligence support • Client management, proposal writing, project budgets Government / Regulatory: • Permit review, compliance inspection, enforcement actions • NEPA documentation (EIS, EA, FONSI), public comment management Corporate Sustainability: • ESG reporting (GRI, SASB, TCFD), carbon accounting, Scope 1-3 emissions • Sustainability strategy, circular economy, supply chain sustainability Remediation / Hazardous Waste: • Site characterisation, risk assessment, remedial action plans • RCRA corrective action, Superfund NPL sites, brownfield redevelopment
