Job Description

Onterris is a leading global environmental solutions company committed to solving complex challenges at the intersection of environmental pressures, regulatory demands, and operational risks. Guided by the mission to advance human progress without compromising environmental integrity, Onterris integrates science, data, and practical expertise to deliver innovative, responsible solutions. The company’s multidisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, field professionals, and consultants collaborate internationally to protect natural resources such as air, water, and soil, while fostering community resilience and sustainable development. At Onterris, a career is more than just a job - it's a commitment to making a real-world impact with solutions that benefit both people and the planet. The company’s core value, “For Planet and Progress,” reflects this commitment and steers every project and initiative they undertake.

The role of Health Scientist, Project Manager - Toxicology and Exposure Science at Onterris presents a unique opportunity to join a purpose-driven organization at its headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas.

As a Health Scientist and Project Manager specializing in toxicology and exposure science, the successful candidate will be entrusted with managing technical projects that span toxicology, risk assessment, industrial hygiene, and exposure assessment. With 4 to 7 years of scientific consulting experience, the ideal applicant will be a proactive self-starter capable of handling projects from initiation to successful completion under senior supervision.

The work environment emphasizes teamwork, continuous learning, and the expansion of multidisciplinary technical skills, making this an ideal role for professionals seeking both career advancement and the chance to make a positive environmental impact. This position demands strong organizational skills, adaptability, and a commitment to fostering productive relationships in matrix-style reporting structures.
