Pay Rate, overtime, nice bosses, small locally owned business with an owner who cares, easy to get pay raises if you try hard, lots of field experience, per diem is paid outright.
Svantaggi
It can definitely be hard work with long hours and sometimes you have to travel a lot, but you're usually home on weekends.

Thanks. Our employees are what make us successful, and the more successful we are, the better we can pay them. If you like to see new places, and travel a bit around the state and other states, this is a great job to experience that as well.
The team is very friendly and ready to help you learn and grow in the industry. You will get A LOT of hands on experience as you will spend much of your time working on projects in the field.
Svantaggi
Personally, I enjoy working in the field and think it is a great way to lean, but if you are looking for a lab or office job, this is not the position for you.

Thanks for the great comments. Us "Geos" do like to be in the field! One thing our employees do get is exposure to most every type of environmental site you would work on in this industry. Private property transaction, DOD and DOE sites, State tank fund sites, etc.. You also get to see a site from initial site
characterization through cleanup and closure.
Besides all the H&S courses and requirements, training is mostly on the job due to the unique nature of what we do in our industry. We do our Direct Imaging team through a week long training on that topic. We are working on more structured procedures for onboarding in the drilling and remediation divisions to help streamline learning those new skills.
