Role Description
Arcadis is seeking a Civil or Environmental Engineer, Geologist, or Scientist to join our established, multi-disciplinary team in our Clifton Park, New York office. This is an entry-level or early career opportunity for a motivated individual looking for career growth in the environmental consulting field. While this position requires both field and office work, the candidate should expect to spend 70% to 95% of their time in the field, with the potential option to shift to more office-based work over time.
As part of our Environmental Services 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, excellent written and verbal communication skills, willingness to take initiative, ability to work independently and collaboratively in groups, and willingness to perform field work are crucial characteristics of a successful consultant.
Effective coordination and communication with project managers and other staff is a must. 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 remediation, long-term monitoring, and operations and maintenance projects. Arcadis’ performance-based evaluations provide an opportunity for candidates to advance their career within the company.
