As a Scientist II at RES, you will support the implementation, monitoring, and success of ecological restoration projects across diverse ecosystems.

You’ll begin your day prepping field gear for a monitoring visit to a stream or wetland mitigation site. Once on-site, you may collect data using GPS, YSI meters, or turbidity sensors, following project-specific protocols and QA/QC standards. You’ll help guide junior team members, ensure field datasheets are accurate, and troubleshoot equipment as needed.
Back at the office, you’ll enter and analyze field data, draft sections of monitoring reports, and interpret site plans or planting palettes. You might meet with design or regulatory teammates to discuss crediting metrics, or help evaluate a site’s feasibility based on regulatory or ecological constraints. You’ll balance independent work with collaborative efforts to move restoration projects forward.
Are comfortable in the field and in the office—and enjoy a balance of both
Can collect, organize, and interpret scientific data with care and accuracy
Communicate effectively and take ownership of your tasks
Can help guide junior field staff and contribute to team learning
