Job Description

Terracon's Savannah Environmental Planning team is seeking an Environmental Scientist/Ecologist to support a variety of natural resource, environmental permitting, and ecological consulting projects throughout Georgia and the southeastern United States. This position provides hands-on experience conducting wetland delineations, protected species assessments, environmental permitting, mitigation planning, and ecological field investigations while working alongside experienced environmental professionals. Project assignments may involve coastal wetlands, longleaf pine ecosystems, gopher tortoise habitat, agency coordination, wetland and stream restoration/mitigation projects, a variety of state and/or federally protected species, and other natural resource investigations throughout the Southeast. This role offers a balance of field work, technical report preparation, agency coordination, client interfacing, and opportunities for professional growth within a collaborative team environment.

We are seeking candidates who enjoy field-based scientific work, have strong organizational and technical writing skills, work effectively as part of a team, and are eager to learn and develop professionally. Successful candidates will have an interest in wetlands, ecology, environmental permitting, and natural resource management. This position is designed to provide training and mentorship in wetland science, natural resource permitting, protected species assessments, and environmental consulting practices. This position provides opportunities to develop technical expertise, obtain professional certifications, build client-facing experience, and advance within Terracon's environmental consulting practice.

The ideal candidate will be able to provide support and assistance for consulting services for a broad array of projects and clients. This may include performing and/or assisting in field investigations, and the writing, preparation, and review of related reports for the services provided.

Typical project assignments include wetland/stream delineation, permitting for proposed development impacts to aquatic resources, wetland/stream mitigation banking, biological and hydrologic data collection/analysis, and threatened/endangered species surveys and assessments. The position will include a combination of office work, in addition to field work, where extreme heat, bugs, dense vegetation, uneven terrain, and generally harsh field conditions are often encountered. Experience with GIS, GPS-based field data collection, ArcGIS applications, AutoCAD, drone-based data collection, or related geospatial technologies is preferred.

The position will apply sound scientific principles and be able to communicate with team members daily on diverse project/client portfolios. Typical client base includes public works, transportation, commercial, communications, energy, and/or industrial sectors.
