Role description:

Arcadis is seeking an Entry-Level Technician with a background in earth or environmental sciences, engineering, or technical discipline to join our established, multi-disciplinary team in our Clifton Park, New York office.

This is a full-time, entry-level opportunity for a motivated individual looking to begin or grow a career in the environmental consulting field. The position offers an opportunity to support and contribute to a wide variety of environmental investigation and remediation projects.
