We are looking for an Environmental Geologist to join our multidisciplinary team dedicated to understanding and mitigating the impact of human activity on the Earth's geological systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in geology, environmental science, and fieldwork, and will be passionate about applying scientific principles to solve real-world environmental problems.
As an Environmental Geologist, you will be responsible for conducting site assessments, analyzing soil and groundwater samples, and preparing detailed reports that inform environmental remediation and land use planning. You will work closely with engineers, hydrologists, and environmental consultants to evaluate the geological risks associated with construction projects, waste disposal, and natural resource extraction.
Your work will play a critical role in ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and in promoting sustainable development practices. You will also be involved in monitoring contamination levels, assessing the stability of slopes and landforms, and advising on the safe management of hazardous materials.
This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex scientific information to non-specialist stakeholders. Fieldwork is a significant component of the job, and candidates should be comfortable working in a variety of outdoor environments and weather conditions.
We value professionals who are proactive, collaborative, and committed to continuous learning. If you are driven by a desire to protect the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future, we encourage you to apply.
