About the role

Barry Isett & Associates (Isett) is an employee-owned multi-discipline engineering/consulting firm headquartered in Allentown, PA, with additional offices throughout eastern and central PA. Isett associates get the opportunity to perform meaningful work that helps enrich our community each and every day. Our company is a values-based organization which has been recognized for its award-winning culture through several regional and statewide programs: Best Places to Work in PA (annually since 2019); The Morning Call’s Top Workplaces (annually, since 2013); Empowering Women Award by Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business (annually, since 2022); Philadelphia Inquirer’s Top Workplaces (annually, since 2022); Corporate Citizen of the Year (by the Lehigh Valley Business Journal); The Societas Award for Responsible Corporate Conduct (for Ethics).

As a multi-discipline firm, Isett provides a full range of engineering and consulting services, including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, environmental, geotechnical, and municipal engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, code enforcement, plan review, construction management, construction materials testing, and grant writing services to clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Our Environmental Consulting department has an opportunity for a full-time Environmental Scientist. This is a full-time field/office position. The ideal candidate will be based out of our Allentown office, but other locations will be considered. The candidate will also be expected to commute to our other offices, as needed. In addition to performing the duties listed below, the candidate must be capable of independent work, be able to read topographic maps, site plans, and aerial photographs, and have strong writing skills. This position will require you to work independently and as part of a team, so we need very good communicators who are able to multi-task and work well with others. Therefore, the desire and motivation to contribute within the firm as needs/opportunities arise is an important attribute.
