About Remedy

Despite years - and sometimes decades - of effort, developers struggle to return former commercial/industrial properties to beneficial use. Remedy is a startup committed to addressing the bottleneck in this process in a completely novel way. Our mission is to design and build a scalable, vertically integrated work flow that starts with site identification and investigation, and ends with redevelopment entitlement and construction. At each step of the process, we are designing digital tools and field-ready hardware to bring speed and certainty to environmental regulators, property owners, and developers. Remedy brings together a uniquely diverse team that includes software and hardware developers, A.I. experts, mechanical and process engineers, chemists, environmental scientists and geologists, and real estate professionals. These disciplines do not work in silos; because our goal is speed and our workflow is vertically integrated, we are forced to intimately understand how each piece of the process works.

Position Summary

We are seeking an Environmental Scientist Intern to support site research, remedial cost and trade-off analysis, investigation planning and execution, data and alternatives analysis, regulatory reporting, and generation of professional papers. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on experience in applied hydrogeology using the best available technology and hardware.
