Job Description

The Nuclear Waste Program within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill two positions: Waste Management Hydrogeologist (Hydrogeologist 4) (In-Training) and Senior Hydrogeologist and Well Coordinator (Hydrogeologist 4) (In-Training). Both positions are located in our Richland Field Office (RFO) in Richland, WA. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station.

Join our team and play a pivotal role in the hydrogeologic evaluation of the vadose zone and groundwater at the Hanford Site, the nation's largest environmental cleanup project. One position is in the Waste Management Section and will focus on permitting and compliance for mixed waste facilities requiring groundwater monitoring, while the other will take on the role of well coordinator in the Cleanup Section.

Your contributions in these positions will directly support Ecology's efforts in the Hanford Site cleanup, making a meaningful impact and influencing the success of this critical environmental project. You will also have opportunities to collaborate with experts from national laboratories, state and federal agencies, and industry, providing extensive career advancement opportunities.

Note: These positions offer a career path and on-the-job training. The positions allow you to progress through the Hydrogeologist field and achieve the goal class of a Hydrogeologist 4. Candidates will be considered at the Hydrogeologist 3 and Hydrogeologist 4 levels, depending on their qualifications. For salary levels for each, please see the qualifications section.

Agency Mission: Ecology's mission is to protect, preserve, and enhance Washington's environment for current and future generations.

Program Mission: The Nuclear Waste Program's mission is to lead the effective and efficient cleanup of the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site; to ensure sound management of mixed hazardous wastes in Washington; and to protect the state's air, water, and land at and adjacent to the Hanford Site.

Telework options for this position: These positions offer flexibility of a hybrid schedule, empowering work from home and office, providing less time in traffic and shrinking your carbon footprint. Initially, these positions require in-office training. After successful completion of new employee orientation and training, both positions will be eligible for up to a 90% telework schedule.
