Role description:

Arcadis is seeking a Scientist or Geologist to join our Lenexa, KS office.

This full-time position is expected to support multiple environmental investigation and remediation projects. The selected candidate will be working alongside various project managers.

As part of our Resilience Environment team, you’ll help improve quality of life. You will work alongside Senior Scientists and Engineers, Project/Program Managers, and Technical Experts on various activities in support of diverse environmental assessment and remediation projects. This opportunity is to support our growing emerging contaminant project portfolio and remediation capabilities.

Our services encompass a range of responsibilities aimed at engineering design and optimization support for treatment systems. You will specialize in providing program support for a diverse portfolio of projects underway.
