About the Milestone Environmental Contracting Inc.

In under 10 years, Milestone Environmental Contracting Inc. became an industry leader in environmental contracting projects in the country. Founded by Mark Seaman and Barry Grover, they envisioned a company that would be the best in the 'dirty' business and the 'contractor of choice' for government, consultants, and engineers. Today, that vision is still alive and well, as the company continues to excel in difficult, technical work, and take on tough jobs that include environmental remediation (marine, soil, and groundwater), civil construction, cleanup, and habitat restoration contracts.

At Milestone, we strive to attract top talent that allows us to tackle the most interesting and challenging environmental contracting projects.
