Entry Level Geology Data Science Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Company:

Kundlas Consulting Group LLC is a professional consulting firm specializing in construction inspection and compliance services for public infrastructure projects. Our core services include on-site inspection of roadway, bridge, and utility construction to ensure adherence to engineering specifications, safety standards, and contract requirements. We support clients with daily reporting, materials testing coordination, schedule tracking, and quality assurance oversight. Additional services include project management, grants management for federally funded infrastructure and disaster recovery programs.

About the Role:

The Geologist will support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) READI contract by conducting geological assessments and providing technical expertise for emergency stabilization, infrastructure recovery, environmental restoration, and resiliency projects. This role supports rapid response and long-term recovery operations through geological investigations, subsurface analysis, groundwater evaluations, and geotechnical assessments in accordance with federal standards and project-specific requirements.

The Geologist will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and environmental teams to assess subsurface conditions, evaluate geological hazards, and support decision-making related to stabilization, remediation, and recovery activities. Responsibilities may include field investigations, geological mapping, groundwater sampling, data interpretation, and preparation of technical reports supporting emergency response and infrastructure resilience initiatives.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Earth Sciences, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, or a related scientific discipline from an accredited institution.
• Licensed or registered Professional Geologist (PG) or equivalent professional experience supporting geological investigations and assessments.
• Experience conducting geological field investigations, subsurface evaluations, groundwater sampling, and hydrogeological assessments.
• Knowledge of geological mapping, geophysical investigation methods, and soil and rock characterization techniques.
• Ability to safely conduct fieldwork in varying environmental and emergency response conditions.
• Proficiency with geological software, data analysis tools, and technical reporting applications.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to support multidisciplinary project teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, or related discipline.
• Experience supporting USACE, FEMA, EPA, or other federal environmental and infrastructure programs.
• Familiarity with GIS platforms, geospatial analysis, and environmental data management systems.
• Knowledge of environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, and federal environmental requirements.
• Experience supporting emergency response, stabilization, recovery, or resiliency projects.
• Experience working on multidisciplinary teams supporting civil works, environmental restoration, or resource management initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct geological assessments and field investigations supporting emergency stabilization and infrastructure recovery activities.
• Perform geological mapping, subsurface evaluations, and site characterization to assess soil, rock, and groundwater conditions.
• Collect and analyze groundwater, soil, and geological samples to support environmental assessments and recovery planning.
• Interpret geological and geophysical data to identify subsurface conditions, geological hazards, and site constraints.
• Prepare technical reports, field documentation, maps, and recommendations supporting project planning and implementation.
• Support multidisciplinary engineering and environmental teams in the development of stabilization, remediation, and recovery solutions.
• Coordinate with regulatory agencies, project managers, and technical stakeholders to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
• Participate in field inspections, emergency response support activities, and post-event damage assessments as required.

Skills:

The ideal candidate must possess strong knowledge of geology, hydrogeology, and geophysical investigation techniques to support accurate subsurface assessments and emergency stabilization activities. Experience conducting geological field investigations, groundwater sampling, soil and rock analysis, and site characterization is essential for evaluating environmental and infrastructure conditions. The candidate should demonstrate proficiency in geological mapping, data interpretation, and technical reporting to support project planning and recovery operations. Familiarity with GIS platforms and geospatial technologies is highly desirable for analyzing and visualizing complex environmental and geological data. Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities are required to assess geological hazards and recommend practical solutions under dynamic project conditions. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are necessary for coordinating with engineers, environmental professionals, regulatory agencies, and federal stakeholders in support of USACE READI contract objectives. The ability to safely perform fieldwork and adapt to emergency response environments is critical to successful project execution.
