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.

Responsibilities:
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.
