Entry Level Science Writing Jobs in Rhode Island

We are seeking an entry-level Civil/Environmental Engineer to join our growing team. This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career professional interested in applying civil engineering fundamentals to environmental projects while gaining hands-on experience in both field and office settings.

Our work spans a broad range of environmental and civil engineering services, including site characterization, remediation, design, permitting, and construction support. In this role, you will contribute across multiple project phases and develop a well-rounded technical skillset early in your career.

This position is a strong fit for someone who enjoys problem-solving, is comfortable working outdoors, and is motivated to build both field and design experience.

You will collaborate with a team of engineers and scientists to support a variety of project activities, including:

• Conducting field work such as construction oversight and environmental sampling
• Supporting site investigations and remediation efforts
• Assisting in the preparation of technical reports, memoranda, and data summaries
• Performing engineering calculations and supporting design tasks (e.g., grading, drainage, erosion and sediment control)
• Assisting with the development of plans, specifications, and permit applications
• Supporting construction-phase activities, including site visits, inspections, and documentation

Early in your role, a significant portion of your time may be spent in the field. As you gain experience, responsibilities will expand to include more design and technical analysis work.

This position requires periodic travel to project sites, which may involve outdoor work in varying conditions. Travel is project-based and may include occasional overnight stays.

• B.S. in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field
• Strong interest in environmental engineering projects with application of civil/site design principles
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to travel regionally to project sites, with occasional travel beyond the region as needed
• Self-motivated with a willingness to learn and take on new challenges
• Valid driver's license

Note:  This position requires specific driving duties. You must be able to pass a motor vehicle records check required by our insurer.

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or intent to pursue P.E. licensure
• Coursework or experience in environmental permitting, site characterization, remediation, or stormwater management
• Basic familiarity with AutoCAD and/or GIS (coursework or internship experience is sufficient)

What Sets This Role Apart

• Exposure to a diverse range of projects-from field investigations to design and construction support
• Opportunity to build both hands-on field experience and technical engineering skills early in your career
• Collaborative, team-oriented environment with a mix of experience levels and backgrounds
• Clear path for technical and professional growth, including support toward P.E. licensure
