🧪🌎 Environmental Scientist I Where Science Meets the Field

Full-Time | Field & Office Based

Do you love asking why, getting your boots dirty, and turning field data into real-world solutions? At Tasman Inc, we’re looking for an Environmental Scientist who’s ready to build their career at the intersection of science, safety, and environmental stewardship.

If you’re curious by nature, comfortable in the field, and excited to grow your technical expertise, this is your opportunity to make an impact—today and for generations to come.

Who We Are

Headquartered in Denver, CO, and with operations across the U.S., Tasman is a multi-faceted consulting, engineering and construction firm that focuses on developing cost- effective solutions for our clients. We approach each project as a way to partner with our clients and cultivate a long lasting relationship that provides successful outcomes. We pride ourselves on being professionals that use practical knowledge, integrity and dedicated to drive success.

We live by three core values that guide everything we do:

WE ARE OUR PEOPLE – Safety comes first, always. We look out for one another, celebrate wins, and succeed as a team.

DO THE RIGHT THING – Integrity matters. We protect our people, our partners, and the planet—because safety is planned, not accidental.

PURSUE EXCELLENCE – We don’t cut corners. We innovate, improve, and raise the bar every day.

🔬 About the Role

As an Environmental Scientist, you’ll be a key technical contributor supporting environmental, geotechnical, and engineering projects from planning through completion. You’ll spend most of your time in the field (about 80%) conducting site assessments, sampling, mapping, and supporting safe, compliant project execution—while developing the skills to grow into more advanced responsibilities.

This is an ideal role for an early-career scientist who enjoys variety, hands-on work, and solving real-world environmental challenges.

  • Plan and prepare for fieldwork (equipment, supplies, documentation—you’ll be ready)
  • Perform site reconnaissance, mapping, and soil, groundwater, and surface sampling
  • Support environmental and drilling permitting efforts
  • Assist with site plans, technical drawings, and data collection
  • Oversee subcontractors and field personnel as needed
  • Coordinate and support health & safety activities in the field
  • Prepare field notes, data summaries, and draft technical reports
  • Mentor and cross-train technicians
  • Balance multiple projects while maintaining safety, quality, and attention to detail

What You Bring

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geology or Environmental Science
  • 1–3 years of experience in environmental, Oil & Gas, or related field work
  • Working knowledge of environmental and geologic concepts
  • Strong organization, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Comfort working independently in the field with limited supervision
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sites

Nice To Have

  • OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER certification
  • Experience with environmental remediation or geotechnical drilling
  • Familiarity with GIS or CAD tools
  • Field leadership or subcontractor oversight experience

Work Environment

  • Approx. 80% field / 20% office
  • Fieldwork in varying weather, terrain, and environmental conditions
  • PPE required in field environments
  • Medium physical effort, including lifting up to 50 lbs and frequent walking and standing

Schedule

  • Full-time, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
  • Occasional overtime or weekend work based on project needs

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Group health coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Paid vacation and sick time
  • Company-paid holidays
  • A supportive, team-driven culture that values learning and growth
