What is a weekend environmental scientist?

Weekend environmental scientists are professionals who conduct environmental research, monitoring, or assessments specifically during weekends. They may work for government agencies, consulting firms, or nonprofit organizations, helping collect data on air, water, soil, and wildlife. This role is often ideal for those seeking part-time or flexible work, and may involve tasks such as field sampling, site inspections, or assisting with environmental restoration projects. Weekend environmental scientists play a crucial role in ensuring continuous environmental monitoring and supporting larger teams who work during the week.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend environmental scientist, and why are they important?

A Weekend Environmental Scientist typically needs a background in environmental science or related field, with skills in data collection, analysis, and reporting. Familiarity with GIS software, environmental sampling equipment, and possibly certifications like HAZWOPER are often required. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication enhance performance in this role. These competencies ensure accurate environmental assessments, regulatory compliance, and meaningful reporting even during limited weekend hours.

What are some common challenges faced by weekend environmental scientists, and how can they be addressed?

Weekend Environmental Scientists often juggle tight project timelines and limited access to team resources since they work outside standard business hours. Communication with weekday staff and coordinating fieldwork or lab access can be challenging. To address this, it’s helpful to maintain thorough documentation, proactively communicate any issues to the broader team, and leverage digital tools for data sharing. Building strong relationships with both weekend and weekday colleagues can also facilitate smoother project handoffs and ensure continuity.

Job description

About the Role

Apex Companies is seeking an Environmental Scientist to join our team in Manassas, VA. This is a hands-on, field-focused opportunity for an environmental professional who enjoys working outdoors, solving problems in the field, and supporting a diverse range of environmental projects.

The position offers exposure to a broad range of environmental services, including groundwater monitoring, environmental sampling, stormwater inspections, remediation systems, and emergency response. Approximately 80% of the position will be field-based, with the remaining time spent supporting project documentation, data evaluation, and other technical activities.

What You'll Do

  • Conduct groundwater monitoring and evaluate groundwater data.
  • Perform multi-media environmental sampling, including soil, groundwater, surface water, and air.
  • Conduct field testing and document sample collection and field conditions.
  • Support environmental investigations and remediation projects.
  • Perform operation and maintenance activities for remediation systems.
  • Conduct stormwater and erosion and sediment control inspections.
  • Support environmental compliance and field activities for utilities, municipalities, petroleum clients, private developers, and other customers.
  • Participate in emergency response activities for select clients.
  • Assist with data evaluation, reporting, and other technical project deliverables.
  • Utilize GIS and CAD tools to support environmental projects when applicable.
  • Travel throughout Northern and Central Virginia and occasionally to other locations.
  • Participate in a rotating weekend on-call schedule approximately every six weeks; weekend call-ins are relatively rare.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Geology, Earth Science, or a related field.
  • Relevant environmental consulting, field, or related experience preferred.
  • Ability to perform field work in a variety of weather and environmental conditions.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to accurately document field activities and data.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently as well as as part of a project team.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain HAZWOPER certification.
  • Experience with groundwater modeling, GIS, or CAD is a plus.

What You'll Gain

This position provides the opportunity to build a broad environmental skill set while working on projects for a diverse group of clients. Rather than being limited to one type of project, you'll gain hands-on experience across groundwater, sampling, remediation, stormwater, environmental compliance, and emergency response.

Travel & Schedule

  • Primarily field-based throughout Northern and Central Virginia.
  • Some overnight travel, approximately once per quarter.
  • Expected to work in the office or field five days per week.
  • Apex maintains a fleet of company vehicles; occasional use of a personal vehicle may be required.

Why you'll love working with us:

  • Medical, dental and vision plan options.
  • Company-paid life, short, and long-term disability insurance.
  • 401k plan.
  • Paid time-off and holidays.
  • Cross-training and the ability to work on a variety of projects.
  • Other perks and incentives.
  • Working with the best and brightest in the industry.
  • 2,000+ employee national firm with 70+ locations across the US.
