roscoe Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 This is a totally shameless plug to see if anybody out there works for, or knows anyone working in Environmental consulting, preferably in the boston area (or anywhere on the way up to Portland Maine, I go to school at Bowdoin) I major in Environmental Studies and Spanish, and am looking to get an internship in an environmental consulting firm this summer. Specifically I'm interested in environmental remediation, but I'd like to get experience in any aspect of the field. I've been trying to get a head-start on all of this since I'm studying abroad currently, but business is slow. So if you have any info, its much appreciated.

dingbat Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 If I recall correctly, these guys have an office out toward Boston way: Tighe & Bond They also have an office in Westfield if you'd like to be closer to the wilder part of the state. I worked in their remediation department for a while. Can't say I had a great experience there, but it had more to do with the guy supervising my department than the company. They caned him shortly after I resigned. Apparently I was the fith guy in a row to leave the position in very short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a friend at Woodard & Curran if that interests you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Although you are a sworn enemy (I am Bates '93), PM me. I worked at Weston Solutions for 8 years, and still work in the industry, just more on the Safety side of things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dingbat- thank you for the company name there, I will look into them this afternoon. Can (should?) I use your name when I email? Jack - I'll email you in a minute, I've actually emailed W&C earlier this week, so I'm definitely interested ncermak - I'll also email you, I'd like to hear more about where you are now and Weston Solutions. Thanks everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dingbat- .... Can (should?) I use your name when I email? DO NOT MENTION MY NAME! Chances are slim that whoever you speak to would know or remember who I am, but if they do, it won't help you. My time there ended rather "dramatically", and in my wake I left an ethicaly corrupt department head's practices exposed. I heard there was a small house cleaning shortly afterward. I can't imagine anyone there would consider an acquaintance with me a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 haha thank you for the clarification there... could've resulted in a slightly awkward encounter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I was looking up Weston Solutions, and it seems that they dont have any offices in MA anymore (http://www.westonsolutions.com/about/locations.htm) ... am I looking at the right company? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Also try Weston & Sampson (the Weston Solutions made me think of it). They are in Peabody and do a lot of Enviro work - especially field stuff. HR at Tt in Framingham is forwarding your resume on to a couple of colleagues also since they don't have any internships open this summer (bummer). Good Luck!

roscoe Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 thanks Angie! I've actually already emailed Weston and Sampson, but haven't heard anything back. Please tell your HR friends thanks from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 look up the START office in Andover. it is an assigned office to a the EPA Superfund Technical Assistance and Response Team Contract. Mark McDuffie heads it up. You can use my name. Weston's main NE office is in concord, NH. not sure if that is close enogh to boston. Also, email me your resume...

roscoe Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 what is your email (I can't attach the resume through the bomber form) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eajracing Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not sure about the Boston area... but I'm 99% sure IBI Group has a large office down there and I did 5 years remediating for them in Toronto... Check Environ and Golder too. But really.... when it gets tho the point hat you'd rather have a root canal than write/review another Phase II.... come to the dark side... get into contracting. Big machines are so much cooler than injections. I love the smell of modified Fentons through an Allu bucket in the (very early) morning....
