This is a great opportunity for an early-career Geologist or Environmental Scientist to join our organization. The position available is a remote/hybrid opportunity that, while requiring residency in our Northern Appalachia service area (West Virginia or eastern Ohio highly preferred, western Pennsylvania may be considered), will allow the employee to perform office tasks from a home office. Regular travel and fieldwork servicing our region is required, and overnight travel is intermittent.

The employee will be supported in all aspects of an environmental and/or geologic assignment. It should be noted that, while this is a remote position, daily interaction with colleagues, the public, clients, and/or subcontractors will be normal; adaptability and excellent written and verbal communication skills are required. Remote work is not suitable for all personalities, and requires a high degree of organization, self-discipline, and awareness.

The annual compensation range for this role is $52,500 to $60,000
, commensurate with experience, skills, and geographic location.

To thrive in this role, you’ll be comfortable taking ownership of the following responsibilities:

• Collecting field data in an organized and concise manner, consistent with corporate and client standard operating procedures and work plans.

• Interpretation of data, technical writing/report preparation, and client interaction.
• Additional duties may be assigned, which may include occasional travel to locations all over the US.
