Environmental Geologist

Job Description

As an Atlas Environmental Geologist / Hydrogeologist II, you’ll help deliver subsurface investigation and remediation work across the Los Angeles, CA area—collecting high-quality field data, turning it into clear technical findings, and supporting environmental decisions that protect people and places. This role is intended to support subsurface investigation needs in the LA Basin, helping fill a key project gap (including the RELLC Dominguez Channel effort).

Join a dynamic, value-driven, client- and community-focused environment where your work creates a lasting positive impact for the people and communities we serve.

Collect soil and groundwater samples for subsurface assessment and remediation projects, following site-specific plans and safe work practices.

Log soil samples accurately and maintain thorough, well-organized field notes, photos, and supporting documentation.

Prepare complete chain-of-custody forms and record survey or field measurements on approved forms to support defensible results.

Analyze and summarize field and laboratory data, then contribute to clear reports with sound conclusions and recommendations.

Travel locally and regionally to project sites using a company vehicle and represent Atlas professionally with clients, partners, and contractors.

Model a safety-first mindset by implementing Atlas health and safety requirements (including HAZWOPER expectations) and promoting proactive, continuous improvement.

3+ years of environmental consulting experience that includes a mix of field work, sampling, data evaluation, and technical writing.

Working knowledge of due diligence, site investigation, remediation, industrial hygiene, and environmental compliance work.

Experience supporting Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (data collection and report writing).

A demonstrated commitment to health and safety requirements and field readiness (40‑hr HAZWOPER with 8‑hr annual refresher).

Strong communication skills, solid attention to detail, and proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint).

The ability to manage multiple priorities—working independently when needed and collaborating well as part of a team.

Availability to travel ~50–70% and residence in Southern California.

Ability to pass a drug screen and motor vehicle background check (for driving to project sites).
