Job description


Terracon is growing and hiring a near-surface Field Geophysicist in our West Palm Beach, Florida office! Our West Palm Beach office utilizes a comprehensive range of near-surface geophysical technologies in support of geotechnical, environmental, engineering, and materials testing investigations, including utility location. This position is for a geoscientist who will be responsible for field collecting non-invasive geophysical surveys to assist in mapping and characterizing the subsurface. You may assist in defining survey objectives, designing survey approaches, performing quality control on data, analyzing the geophysical data, and provide interpretation of results. These results are incorporated into the planning, design, renovation, and construction of vital infrastructure such as roads, tunnels, airports, landfills, water supplies, and other facilities; the assessment of environmental conditions; and the evaluation of earth resources. Geophysics is a growing field that supports all four of Terracon's service lines.
