• Stay current on evolving federal, state, and local environmental regulations, and assess their impact on real estate collateral risk.
• Support continuous improvement of the Bank's environmental risk framework and take part in special projects or initiatives led by the Environmental Risk Manager.

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Geology, or a related field.
