Full job description

 

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

We are more than 34,000 people, in over 30 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Role description:

Arcadis is seeking an entry-level Geologist or Environmental Scientist to join our team in Richmond, VA. While this position requires both field and office work, the candidate should expect to spend up to 80% of their time in the field. 

You will have the opportunity to join a dedicated team in Richmond, VA that prioritizes mentorship and your professional growth. The team is committed to supporting your success and providing guidance as you navigate your role.

As part of our Resilience Environment team, you’ll help improve quality of life. 

Role accountabilities:

As part of this role, you will be responsible for assisting Project Managers (PMs) and Task Managers (TMs) in planning and executing environmental site characterization, investigation, and remediation tasks.

Fieldwork will also be a key aspect of this position, which will offer you an opportunity to be trained to oversee drilling for soil sampling and groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, subcontractor oversight, operation and maintenance of remediation systems, vapor intrusion/soil gas surveys, among other tasks. It is essential to conduct fieldwork with a focus on health and safety.

Your core duties will include:

  • Prepare subcontracts and oversee the work of subcontractors.
  • Writing and preparing technical reports, work plans, letters, and memoranda
  • Office work may include task coordination, data compilation and interpretation, cost estimates, health & safety plan preparation, report writing, regulatory file reviews, proposal writing, project strategy development, schedule and budget management, and establishment of subcontracts.
  • Conduct field work including soil, groundwater, and/or vapor sampling in the field. Field work will require regional business travel.. A few times per year, travel will be required within the U.S. for multiple weeks at a time. Field work could also include incident response recovery (IRR). 

To be successful in this role, you should possess strong written and oral communication skills, be self-motivated, and exhibit independent thinking. You should be able to work effectively and efficiently in a team setting as well as independently and remotely. Successful candidates will demonstrate their ability to be adaptable, creative problem solvers who can work collaboratively as a team member.

In summary, this position encompasses both office work (task management, data analysis, report preparation, scope preparation, and client communications) as well as field work. 

Fieldwork will also be a key aspect of this position, which will offer you an opportunity to be trained to oversee drilling for soil sampling and groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, subcontractor oversight, operation and maintenance of remediation systems, vapor intrusion/soil gas surveys, among other tasks. Additionally, Arcadis supports many of our client’s needs when unforeseen incidents occur, such as train derailments, pipeline releases, etc. An aspect of this role is supporting our Mid-Atlantic and National emergency response teams to ensure rapid protection of human health and the environment. This work is completed under the direction of trained incident responders and may require unanticipated travel and work outside standard business hours.

Field work will require regional business travel for up to 1-2 days per week on average. A few times per year, travel will be required within the U.S. for up to two weeks at a time. Estimated travel is up to 50% during the first two years, with travel reduced with career growth. By the third year, travel for field work is typically 25%. Travel expenses are reimbursable. A valid driver's license is required for the role. 

Qualifications & Experience:

Required Qualifications 

  • Bachelor’s of Science in Geology, Hydrogeology, or closely related field (i.e., environmental science, physical science) 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master of Science degree in Geology or closely related field 
  • Current OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training
