🏢 About Braun Intertec Corporation

Braun Intertec Corporation is an employee-owned firm that uniquely balances technical excellence with workplace wellness and environmental sustainability. Their commitment to being employee-owned means you'd have a direct stake in the company's success while contributing to projects that enhance geotechnical integrity. This combination of ownership culture and environmental mission makes it an appealing workplace for professionals who value both technical rigor and meaningful impact.

About This Role

As an Air Quality Specialist at Braun Intertec, you'll handle complex air quality projects including emissions calculations, regulatory applications, and permit preparations while building client relationships. This role directly supports clients in navigating air permitting within existing regulations, making it impactful by ensuring environmental compliance and sustainability. You'll collaborate closely with team members to develop tailored solutions that address specific client needs in the Bloomington, MN area.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing client data to prepare emissions calculations, drafting sections of permit applications, and collaborating with team members on project strategies. You could spend part of the day communicating with clients about their compliance needs, then transition to researching specific air quality regulations to ensure accurate application. Field visits to client sites in the Bloomington area might be interspersed with office-based technical work and team coordination meetings.
