Staff Geologist II

About the role

This position will assist the project team and Project Manager in providing field support, and technical assistance on environmental investigation and remediation projects.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate and implement field project work; oversee drilling, monitoring, logging of soils, sampling of typical environmental media, treatment system operations, and subcontractors.
• Prepare technical reports by coordinating figures, data tables, site descriptions, and other necessary details to ensure report completeness.
• Analyze field data and project work to ensure effective project completion.

Physical demands/work environment: This position works predominantly in the field working independently or as part of a larger team at exterior project sites (i.e., industrial/brownfield facilities, monitoring wells, treatment systems, construction projects) to perform sample collection, recording of operational/meter parameters, and oversight of subcontractors (e.g., drillers, heavy equipment operators, truckers). These field activities require the ability to drive to different project sites and physically move around outdoors in various terrains, in adverse weather conditions and occasionally for extended or irregular hours. Conducting work involves the use of hand-held monitoring instruments and tools, as well as water sampling equipment, which requires the ability to routinely lift and carry objects, stand, walk, reach, bend, squat, kneel and twist. Office work is primarily stationary/sedentary using a computer and keyboard/mouse requiring repetitive hand movements.

• Minimum of 2 years of environmental consulting experience.
• Proficient in performing various routine field activities including but not limited to applying proper sampling techniques for all environmental media, soil logging, overseeing and directing subcontractors, and managing and directing junior field staff.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently in the field.
• Preliminary data evaluation and analytical skills.
• Ability to assist in the preparation of the major components of routine deliverables (i.e., tables, figures, appendices, etc.).
• Ability and willingness to support the technical growth of Staff I level professionals based on direct hands-on interactions.
• Ability to manage tasks or projects to develop project management skills.
