Full Job Description

At RES, we're looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you'll find your place here.

RES is looking for a Scientist I to join our team.

As a Scientist I at RES, you'll support field data collection, environmental monitoring, and ecological assessments that form the foundation of our restoration and mitigation projects. Working under the direction of experienced scientists and project managers, you'll contribute to meaningful work in the field—collecting and processing data, supporting reporting efforts, and gaining exposure to environmental regulations, ecosystems, and scientific best practices.

This is an entry-level opportunity ideal for a recent graduate or someone early in their career who is passionate about environmental science, ecology, or natural resources and wants to build a strong foundation for long-term growth. See what projects our scientists work on here. The position will require overnight travel 50% of the time.

Why You'll Love This Job

You'll be in the field, not just behind a desk. Whether you're taking soil samples, surveying stream banks, or recording vegetation data, you'll see firsthand the ecosystems you're helping to restore.
You'll build real-world scientific skills. From GPS data collection to interpreting maps and recording results, you'll apply and expand your environmental knowledge daily.
You'll grow with mentorship. You'll work side-by-side with senior scientists, field leads, and project managers who are invested in helping you learn and succeed.
Your work will have an impact. The data you collect will guide decisions that shape the future of restored wetlands, streams, and habitats across your region.

A Day in the Life

Your day might start at a project site—walking transects through a wetland, recording plant species, and using GPS to mark key locations. You'll work as part of a small field team, following sampling protocols, maintaining equipment, and ensuring every data point is accurate and well-documented. Later, you might return to the office to enter your data into Excel or another database, help process site photos and maps, or contribute notes for a technical report.

You'll learn how environmental regulations influence what we do, and begin to understand how habitat, water quality, and landscape features intersect in project planning. Over time, you'll become more familiar with regional flora and fauna, permitting frameworks, and the real-world application of scientific principles in the field.

We would like to talk to you if you have many of the following:

Bachelor's degree in environmental science, biology, ecology, geology, natural resources, or a related field
0–2 years of field experience (can include internships, academic fieldwork, or volunteer work)
Basic knowledge of scientific methods, data collection using GPS and/ or GIS tools, and safe field practices
Familiarity with ecological concepts such as native species, soil profiles, or hydrology
Ability to work outdoors in varying conditions and terrain

You will thrive in this position if you:

Possess strong written communication skills for data documentation and reporting
Have attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality data collection
Have strong work ethic and reliability in team-based fieldwork

What would make you stand out?

Exposure to wetland, stream, or habitat assessments
Experience with field sampling equipment, inventories, or monitoring protocols
Understanding of regional environmental regulations and permitting

Please note that the "Day in the Life" section is not intended to be an exhaustive list of job duties, but rather a representative snapshot of typical responsibilities and work experiences at RES.

RES is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a VEVRAA Federal Contractor. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
