Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, values independence, and has a knack for managing time like a pro? If you're ready to take on a role that blends fieldwork, public service, and community impact, CG Public Health invites you to explore an exciting opportunity as an Environmental Health Specialist.

Your work will touch many aspects of daily life. You’ll be on the front lines of lead prevention, working in everything from water testing to HUD-funded home remediations. You’ll also work in our healthy homes initiative to protect vulnerable populations and ensure county compliance by investigating nuisances and reviewing site plans against current environmental regulations, testing private wells for contaminants and interpreting results for residents. Expect a dynamic mix of fieldwork and office time. You'll be out inspecting sites, talking with home and business owners, educating the public, then back at your desk documenting findings and writing reports. No two days are the same, and 
every day brings the chance to make a meaningful contribution to public welfare. Ongoing education is part of the job, keeping you sharp and informed.

If you're tech-savvy, a clear communicator (in writing and in person), can follow procedures with precision, and bring a proactive mindset, we want to talk with you. Let’s build a healthier tomorrow, together. This position may be filled at the Environmental Health Specialist I or II level, based on qualifications and experience. Salary range will vary accordingly.
