About the Role

Apex Companies is seeking an Environmental Scientist to join our team in Manassas, VA. This is a hands-on, field-focused opportunity for an environmental professional who enjoys working outdoors, solving problems in the field, and supporting a diverse range of environmental projects.

The position offers exposure to a broad range of environmental services, including groundwater monitoring, environmental sampling, stormwater inspections, remediation systems, and emergency response. Approximately 80% of the position will be field-based, with the remaining time spent supporting project documentation, data evaluation, and other technical activities.

What You'll Do

Conduct groundwater monitoring and evaluate groundwater data.

Perform multi-media environmental sampling, including soil, groundwater, surface water, and air.

Conduct field testing and document sample collection and field conditions.

Support environmental investigations and remediation projects.

Perform operation and maintenance activities for remediation systems.

Conduct stormwater and erosion and sediment control inspections.

Support environmental compliance and field activities for utilities, municipalities, petroleum clients, private developers, and other customers.

Participate in emergency response activities for select clients.

Assist with data evaluation, reporting, and other technical project deliverables.

Utilize GIS and CAD tools to support environmental projects when applicable.

Travel throughout Northern and Central Virginia and occasionally to other locations.

Participate in a rotating weekend on-call schedule approximately every six weeks; weekend call-ins are relatively rare.

Qualifications

Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites.

Ability to obtain and maintain HAZWOPER certification.

Experience with groundwater modeling, GIS, or CAD is a plus.

What You'll Gain

This position provides the opportunity to build a broad environmental skill set while working on projects for a diverse group of clients. Rather than being limited to one type of project, you'll gain hands-on experience across groundwater, sampling, remediation, stormwater, environmental compliance, and emergency response.

Travel & Schedule

Primarily field-based throughout Northern and Central Virginia.

Some overnight travel, approximately once per quarter.

Expected to work in the office or field five days per week.

Apex maintains a fleet of company vehicles; occasional use of a personal vehicle may be required.
