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.

If you're looking for a hands-on technical role where you can work on meaningful environmental projects and still maintain a healthy work-life balance, the Ayres Midwestern Environmental team may be a great fit.

Our team works across a broad range of environmental and redevelopment projects, and we collaborate closely with planners, landscape architects, and economic development specialists. From early-stage investigations to detailed design and construction, we help communities and private entities address environmental challenges and move projects toward successful redevelopment.
The ideal candidate is someone who wants to grow their career while working alongside experienced project managers and technical staff. You'll support site investigations, groundwater and landfill monitoring, soil and soil vapor sampling, remediation efforts, and regulatory compliance-with a strong focus on Brownfield projects in Wisconsin and beyond.

Become a part of a nationally recognized USA Today Top Workplace! Our commitment to working together and improving our lives rings true, and we are proud to grow our team with driven and valued individuals. Join us today and contribute to a culture of excellence and innovation.

  • Help schedule, track, and support project tasks to meet technical and financial goals.
  • Assist with Brownfield-related research and grant writing.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in geology or environmental earth science.
  • 0-5 years of relevant environmental consulting or regulatory experience (investigation, groundwater or soil sampling, or technical reporting).
  • Experience in one or more of the following: Phase I/II ESAs, hydrogeologic sampling, environmental compliance/permitting, NEPA/WEPA, or Wisconsin NR 700-series investigations.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Willingness to travel in and out of state (including some overnight).
  • Strong technical writing, organization, communication, and data management skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., navigate uneven terrain, and work outdoors up to 25% of the time.
  • Valid driver's license and good driving record.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Desired Skills and Experience:
  • Working knowledge of Wisconsin and federal environmental regulations (NR 100-700 series, NEPA/WEPA, RCRA, CERCLA, SPCC, etc.).
  • Experience managing environmental project tasks.
  • One to three years of environmental consulting or regulatory experience.
  • 40-hour HAZWOPER certification (with current annual refresher).
  • Asbestos inspector certification.

Benefits of being part of the Ayres team:
  • Health, dental, and vision Insurance.
  • Short and long-term disability and life insurance.
