Role description :

Arcadis is seeking an entry-level Geologist to join our team in Clifton Park, NY. While this position requires both field and office work, the candidate should expect to spend 50% to 80% of their time in the field.

As part of our Resilience Environment team, you'll help improve quality of life. This full-time position will be based out of our Clifton Park, NY office and requires a person who is self-motivated and dedicated to contributing to our success. Above the educational preferences, attention to detail, a strong work ethic, ability to work collaboratively, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and willingness to take initiative are crucial characteristics. Being able to take direction while thinking critically and creatively to guide projects to completion is also vital for success and professional growth. The successful candidate will be working alongside and supporting task managers, technical experts, and project managers on multiple projects. Arcadis' performance-based evaluations provide an opportunity for candidates to advance their career within the company.

Role accountabilities :

Responsibilities will include a combination of data / sample collection, site operational support, and remedial system operations and maintenance through field activities, supporting client deliverables and regulatory requirements in the office, and project administrative support. As Arcadis supports projects throughout the Northeast and the United States, there may be significant opportunities for travel.

Fieldwork will also 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 :

• Prepare subcontracts and oversee the work of subcontractors.
• Writing and preparing technical reports, work plans, letters, and memoranda
• Office work may include task coordination, data compilation and interpretation, cost estimates, health & safety plan preparation, report writing, regulatory file reviews, proposal writing, project strategy development, schedule and budget management, and establishment of subcontracts.
• 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 will be required within the U.S. for up to two weeks at a time.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, as you grow your career you may have the opportunity to get involved with these or other initiatives and opportunities throughout our global organization. The successful candidate will be involved in interpreting and evaluating field and analytical data to prepare site characterization reports, remedial investigation reports, engineering designs, permit applications, and construction-related documents.

While this position requires both field and office work, the candidate should expect to spend 50% to 80% of their time in the field, with some travel requiring hotel stays. Candidates must have a good driving record and be willing to work outside in all weather conditions and for extended periods. Candidates must also be able to meet the physical demands associated with performing field work, including lifting heavy equipment, working in a standing position for extended periods of time, working alone at remote sites, etc.

Field work may be performed at project sites with environmental media (e.g., soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, etc.) that has been impacted with hazardous substances and / or hazardous wastes. However, Arcadis provides substantial Health and Safety training, support and mentoring for all project activities, and promotes a strong safety culture where employee and public safety comes first.
