People who work for us generally like to work outside if the office, and this job is for them! Lots of tools and equipment to heft around, so you get in shape for sure! At times we do have a lot of out of town work. In state you are usually home on the weekends. For employee's that show interest in in our industry (site characterization and remediation), we have resources for advancing. Ambitious new employees that show aptitude for learning new skills are generally leading projects after a couple years on board. Come see me if you have not been pointed to these resources already.

Pros

The team is very friendly and ready to help you learn and grow in the industry. You will get A LOT of hands on experience as you will spend much of your time working on projects in the field.

Cons

Personally, I enjoy working in the field and think it is a great way to lean, but if you are looking for a lab or office job, this is not the position for you.

Thanks for the great comments. Us "Geos" do like to be in the field! One thing our employees do get is exposure to most every type of environmental site you would work on in this industry. Private property transaction, DOD and DOE sites, State tank fund sites, etc.. You also get to see a site from initial site characterization through cleanup and closure. Besides all the H&S courses and requirements, training is mostly on the job due to the unique nature of what we do in our industry. We do our Direct Imaging team through a week long training on that topic. We are working on more structured procedures for onboarding in the drilling and remediation divisions to help streamline learning those new skills.
