Job description

Joining Terracon as an Assistant Geologist is a great opportunity to launch your career while gaining hands-on field experience. You'll spend a significant amount of time outdoors performing soil and groundwater sampling, logging field observations, and supporting environmental and geotechnical investigations. Terracon offers opportunities for overtime, professional development, and career advancement, providing a clear path to grow your technical skills and build a successful long-term career in the geosciences.

Collect and interpret surface and subsurface field and sampling data including soil and groundwater to develop conclusions concerning the environmental and geologic site conditions. Generate subsurface maps and cross-sections and collaborate with engineering and environmental scientist staff on projects. Oversee field monitoring and testing of soils including boring investigations and soil type classification. Interpret soil, bedrock and groundwater elevation and quality data. Prepare written plans and reports related to site investigations, assessments and remediation activities. Projects may include construction projects focusing on earthwork and structural foundations; well design and sampling; environmental assessments including Phase I/II site assessments; seismic risk assessments.
Terracon is a 100 percent employee-owned multidiscipline consulting firm comprised of more than 8,000 curious minds focused on solving engineering and technical challenges from more than 200 locations nationwide.
