Staff Scientist/Biologist – Laramie, WY

Trihydro, one of the top environmental and engineering consulting firms in the country, has an opening for a scientist, biologist, or ecologist in our Closed Facilities team in Laramie, WY. If you have a passion for the outdoors, an interest in restoring natural habitat or improving sensitive ecosystems, we encourage you to apply.

As a staff member, you will support our diverse range of clients in improving human health and the environment by investigating groundwater, surface water, and soil conditions; completing vegetation, wildlife, and T&E surveys; collecting baseline soil and vegetation data; supporting stormwater management needs; and participating in the planning and implementation of habitat restoration projects as well as post restoration monitoring.

Role Requirements:

• BS degree in ecosystem science, wildlife biology, or a related science field

• 5+ years of relevant experience including monitoring and data collection (wildlife experience preferred), data management and reporting, and familiarity with environmental regulations (i.e., CWA, NEPA, SMCRA, etc.)

• Ability to conduct fieldwork in inclement weather or for long hours at a time, with occasional wildlife monitoring after sunset or before sunrise hours

• Experience driving in off road conditions or using a four-wheel drive vehicle

• Clean driving record and a willingness to travel independently or as part of a team to remote locations or various project locations within the U.S.

• Effective time management skills, with the ability to be flexible in the face of quickly changing project schedules

• A commitment to producing high-quality deliverables

• Proficiency in Microsoft SharePoint, Word, Excel, Office, and Teams

Though not required, candidates with experience in western U.S. wetland delineations, habitat restoration projects, statistical analysis, use of GPS, and familiarity with GIS/CADD applications will have a jumpstart in the role. If you do not have this experience, Trihydro will support you in gaining this experience.
