Start your Jacobs career with a company that inspires and empowers you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow and succeed – today and into tomorrow.

When it comes to environmental consulting, we’re focused on cleaning up our communities today to improve tomorrow. We’re looking for an emerging Environmental Engineer/Geologist/Geoscientist to work on site characterization and remediation projects for government and private-sector clients.

Based in Burnaby, you’ll learn from other experienced scientists, engineers and project managers who are ready to mentor you, and you’ll pass your knowledge on to others. With challenging projects you’ll continue to gain valuable field experience in soil and groundwater sampling as well as drilling and subcontractor oversight. Adaptability is key, as field conditions in the region can change quickly. We’ll rely on you to lead shallow soil drilling and sampling, install and sample groundwater monitoring wells, and supervise excavations. Field experience should be significant, as we’ll expect you to recommend potential modifications to the project management team that would improve safety, efficiency, cost, and/or compliance of field investigations. You’ll balance your field work with occasional time spent in the office working on data interpretation and visualization, report writing and coordinating logistics for field activities. Safety will be your priority, as you contribute to “incident free” operations and maintain the highest standards of Health & Safety in everything you do.

At Jacobs, we’re partnering across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design, digital technology, and support capabilities of our Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teammates. By joining Jacobs, you’ll commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a company like no other.
