Environmental Scientist

JJob Title: Environmental Scientist

Experience: 2+ Years

Work Model: Hybrid (Field + Office) | Mileage Reimbursement Provided

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Step into a role where your work directly impacts the environment and communities across New York City. From Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) sites to public parks, legacy industrial properties, and landfill projects-you'll be at the forefront of solving real-world environmental challenges.

This isn't just data collection-you'll be in the field, driving decisions, and helping bring complex remediation projects to life. If you're looking for hands-on experience, ownership, and long-term career growth in environmental consulting, this is the opportunity to build your career on meaningful, high-visibility work.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead field investigations, including soil boring logging and collection of soil, groundwater, and soil vapor samples
• Provide on-site oversight of drilling crews and subcontractors, including air monitoring and safety compliance
• Prepare daily field reports, manifests, and detailed site documentation
• Analyze environmental data and support site investigation and remediation reporting
• Work across a variety of sites including Brownfields, parks, and former industrial properties
• Oversee material handling and stockpile management, including import/export tracking

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience with complex urban remediation projects in NYC
• Exposure across the full project lifecycle: investigation, monitoring, and remediation implementation
• Opportunity to contribute to high-impact, long-term environmental projects
• Direct mentorship from experienced environmental professionals
• A clear path to grow into technical expertise and field leadership roles

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, Geology, Environmental Science, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in environmental consulting, site assessment, or remediation
• Strong field experience including sampling, drilling oversight, or environmental monitoring
• Solid technical writing and communication skills
• Ability to work independently in the field and collaborate with a project team
• Flexibility to travel throughout the five boroughs of NYC

Why You'll Enjoy This Role

• If you enjoy being in the field, tackling complex environmental challenges, and seeing projects through from initial investigation to final remediation, this role offers the kind of experience that accelerates your career.
