Environmental

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

When it comes to environmental consulting, we're focused on cleaning up our communities today to improve tomorrow. We're looking for an emerging Geologist to work on complex site characterization and remediation projects for government and private-sector clients.

You'll balance your field work with some time spent in the office evaluating and reviewing data, writing reports and preparing project documents, and coordinating logistics for field activities. You'll be juggling multiple tasks, so we'll rely on you to prioritize effectively, keeping the big-picture in mind.

Estimated travel requirement is up to 50%, generally related to fieldwork.

• Bachelor's degree in Geology or Environmental Engineering or other closely related science field.
• 3-6 years of professional on-the-job experience related to performing and leading environmental field work for site characterization and remediation projects, and an understanding of methodology and procedures.
• Knowledge and experience with various media (e.g., soil, soil vapor, groundwater, surface water and sediment) investigations, data assessments/evaluations, and remediation technologies.
• 40-hr HAZWOPER certification and experience participating in health and safety programs.
• Be physically fit to perform fieldwork and wear a respirator, if required.

Ideally, You'll Also Have:
• Certification as a Geologist in Training (GIT) or Engineer in Training (EIT), with goal of attaining professional licensure.
