Entry Level Hydrogeologist

Jacobs is growing our hydrogeology team to support our client’s future needs for hydrogeologic characterization, wellfield expansion, rehabilitation, and modification services, water resource sustainability and resiliency, water resources planning, and permitting. We’re looking for an emerging highly motivated Hydrogeologist to work with our team on various projects for local utilities, local, state, and federal agencies, and private-sector clients.

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, 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. Each day, you will be an important team member with opportunities to work independently and with peers in a collaborative team environment. We are seeking a self-motivated professional who is eager to grow both personally and professionally with every project in our diverse and fast-paced office. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, quality-driven, and committed to working collaboratively as part of a team.

As a Hydrogeologist, you’ll have a chance to work on Water Resources and Water Supply projects in Jacksonville and North Florida. You’ll gain valuable experience in a variety of water supply well testing, investigation, rehabilitation, and construction projects. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to performing, analyzing, and interpreting well and aquifer performance tests (i.e., variable-rate and constant-rate pumping tests), video and geophysical logging, lithologic and groundwater sampling, drilling data collection, and hydrogeologic characterization. You will be responsible for managing our well investigation, rehabilitation, and construction subcontractors in the field. Your field work will be balanced with time spent in the office working on data evaluation and interpretation, analytical work, report writing, and coordinating logistics for field activities. You will prepare for and attend weekly coordination calls. Safety will be your priority, as you contribute to "incident free" operations and maintain the highest standards of Health & Safety in everything you do.
