At RES, we're looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact.
Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you'll find your place here.
As a Scientist I at RES, you'll support field data collection, environmental monitoring, and ecological assessments that provide the foundation of our environmental, ecological, and natural resource projects. Working under the direction of experienced scientists, you'll contribute to meaningful work in the field—collecting and processing data, supporting and reporting field efforts, and gaining exposure to environmental regulations, ecosystems, and scientific practices.
This position is an entry-level opportunity ideal for a recent graduate or someone early in their career who is passionate about environmental science, ecology, or natural resources and wants to build a strong foundation for long-term growth.
This position is based in our Fort Lauderdale, FL office, and the selected candidate is expected to work from the office via a hybrid schedule. Some travel and overnight stays are anticipated. Approximately 60-70% of your time will be spent in the field, supporting projects across South and Central Florida.
You'll be in the field, not just behind a desk.Whether you're taking soil samples, surveying stream banks, or recording vegetation data, you'll see firsthand Florida's varied ecosystems.
You'll build real-world scientific skills.From GPS data collection to interpreting maps and recording results, you'll apply and expand your environmental knowledge daily.
You'll grow with mentorship.You'll work side-by-side with senior scientists, field leads, and project managers who are invested in helping you learn and succeed.
Your work will have an impact. Incorporation of high-quality environmental data early in a project will help facilitate decisions that incorporate environmental concepts such as avoidance and minimization.
A Day in the Life
Your day might start prepping field gear at the office to visit a project site— a wetland mitigation site, shallow marine habitat, or upland tree area, for example. On-site you may walk transects through a wetland, record plant species, conduct a marine benthic survey, and use a GPS to mark key locations. You'll work as part of a small field team, following sampling protocols, maintaining equipment, and ensuring every data point is accurate and well-documented. Later, you might return to the office to enter your data into Excel or another database, help process site photos and maps, or contribute notes for a technical report.
You'll learn how environmental regulations influence what we do, and begin to understand how habitat, water quality, landscape features and habitats intersect with project planning. Over time, you'll become more familiar with regional flora and fauna, permitting frameworks, and real-world application of scientific principles in the field.
You will thrive in this position if you:
