Role description:
Arcadis is seeking an Entry-Level Field Geologist or Environmental Scientist to join our team in Melville, NY.

We are looking for a candidate with strong organizational and team building skills, who feels comfortable with a dynamic workflow.
As part of our Resilience Environment team, you'll help improve quality of life. You will work alongside Senior Geologists/Scientists and Engineers, Project/Program Managers, and Technical Experts on various activities in support of diverse environmental assessment and remediation projects. This opportunity is to support our growing emerging contaminant project portfolio and remediation capabilities.
Role accountabilities:
As part of this role, you will be responsible for executing environmental site characterization, investigation, and remediation tasks.
Fieldwork will be a key aspect of this position, which will offer you an opportunity to be trained to oversee drilling for soil sampling and groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, subcontractor oversight, operation and maintenance of remediation systems, vapor intrusion/soil gas surveys, among other tasks. It is essential to conduct fieldwork with a focus on health and safety.
Your core duties will include:

• Oversee the work of subcontractors.
• Writing and preparing technical reports, work plans, letters, and memoranda
• Conduct field work including soil, groundwater, and/or vapor sampling in the field. Field work will require regional business travel for up to 1-2 days per week on average. A few times per year, travel may be required within the U.S. for up to two weeks at a time.
