Position Description

At HGL, we value our employees as individuals and as important members of our team. We offer a work environment that is flexible, inclusive, and dedicated to creating a sustainable future.

Projects at HGL span the United States and its territories all while solving problems associated with emerging contaminants (PFAS and microplastics) along with traditional chemical contamination across all media.

With over 550 employees, HGL is large enough to execute high profile projects, but small enough that personal working environments are possible with senior management and HGL's talented team members. By joining HGL, you will be working toward restoring the environment and protecting our future.

Geologist II will support U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Region 4 (the southeastern US). Projects commonly involve investigation and remediation of sites with groundwater and soil impacted by emerging contaminants (PFAS), chlorinated solvents, metals, and petroleum compounds. The role requires periodic travel up to 50% primarily within EPA Region 4 but may include occasional travel outside Region 4.

• Participating on field teams for collection of water, soil, soil vapor, surface water and sediment samples utilizing various sampling techniques.
• Performing field subcontractor oversight inclusive of drilling, monitoring well construction, waste transportation and disposal, and heavy equipment operation.
• Contributing to the preparation of work plans and project deliverables (e.g., QAPPs, RI Reports, SSHP/HASPs, PowerPoint presentations, and technical memoranda).
• Assisting with data entry, analysis, and interpretation of environmental data using statistical and visualization tools.
• Potentially assisting with remedial system operations and maintenance services.
• Managing and leading field teams collecting general field data and completing environmental sampling.
• Potential for up to 50% travel primarily in EPA Region 4 will be associated with this position.

• 2+ years of related work experience or equally equivalent advanced education.
• Previous experience with environmental investigations including groundwater, soil, and surface water/sediment methodologies.
• Experience with monitoring well drilling, logging, installation and sampling; developing boring logs and review/interpretation of geological boring logs.
• Prior experience contributing to the preparation of technical reports, memoranda, and work plans.
• Ability to work within a team environment.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and organization.
• Proficient in MS Word, MS Excel, and other MS Office applications.
• Ability to lift up to 30 lbs.

What You Need to Stand Out
