Environmental/Industrial Hygiene Independent Technical-Report Reviewer

FINBACK 670, Inc. is seeking an Environmental/Industrial Hygiene Independent Technical-Report Reviewer (ITR) that can join our team and support our growing client base. ITR team members report to the FINBACK 670 Operations Officer. An ideal candidate should be a self-starter with excellent written and spoken communication skills.
