    Posted:   08/19/2026
     

    SUMMARY OF JOB DESCRIPTION:

    CAPE is seeking a Project Scientist to support developing environmental remediation and sustainability projects with substantial field, GIS/data, and technical-documentation components. Initial assignments are expected to include wetlands and hydrology work, industrial environmental sites, field investigations, spatial/data integration, and preparation of technically defensible project records and deliverables.

    This position will initially work with senior technical staff to execute field investigations; collect and document environmental observations and samples; organize photographs, GPS, monitoring and other field records; maintain or support GIS and project databases; prepare maps, figures, tables, exhibits and appendices; perform routine spatial and data QA/QC; and support preparation of technical memoranda, regulatory materials and other project deliverables.

    With demonstrated competence, this position will assume increasing responsibility for planning and leading routine field efforts, interpreting field and spatial data, identifying data gaps, preparing technical sections, supporting regulatory coordination, and owning larger components of project execution. Development will follow demonstrated strengths and project needs rather than a fixed path.

    SALARY:
    $75,000 – $105,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

    TRAVEL:
    Up to 50% annually

    MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: 

    • Bachelor's degree in a relevant natural or environmental science discipline, such as ecology, biology, environmental science, geology, soil science, natural resources, physical geography, or a related field
    • 2 years of environmental field experience. Wetlands, ecological assessment, hydrology, water quality, natural resources, environmental monitoring, remediation, or industrial environmental work are particularly relevant.
    • Practical GNSS and GIS experience, preferably involving ArcGIS Pro or comparable professional GIS, including spatial-data management and preparation of maps or analyses.

    Why are you being asked to complete this form?



    We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

     
    Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
