Phase I's can be very good for bringing in business, as banks usually have them done before a property is purchased and developed. Phase I's are eyes-and-ears only, and can be done by any competent, moral individual. It's just a lot of footwork, but it'll get you in the field. Lord forgive my use of apostrophes. It just looked better. :)
Good luck.

In the western U.S., remediation of abandoned mines is becoming an ever-expanding field. Consider applying at a large consulting firm that deals with abandoned mines or has large state or federal mine remediation contracts, such as Tetra Tech or Golder Associates. They might be happy to have someone with your background, even with relatively little remediation experience.
From there you would have opportunities to expand in other fields or areas, but it is a way to get your foot in the door.
