🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group has been a leader in sustainable policy solutions since 1995, specializing in innovative stakeholder engagement and regulatory analysis. What makes them unique is their long-standing expertise in environmental policy and their commitment to pioneering sustainable change through evidence-based approaches. Someone might want to work here to contribute to meaningful environmental protection initiatives while collaborating with experts in the field.

About This Role

This part-time UIC Policy Analyst role involves evaluating state regulatory programs and Underground Injection Control regulations, with a focus on geologic sequestration wells. You'll conduct research on subsurface processes, review geologic site characterizations, and produce high-quality deliverables for clients. This role is impactful because it directly supports regulatory oversight of injection projects that affect groundwater protection and environmental safety.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing state regulatory documents for UIC compliance, conducting literature reviews on specific geologic formations, and drafting sections of client deliverables. You'll likely collaborate remotely with team members to analyze injection well data and prepare research findings that inform regulatory decisions and environmental protection measures.
