Overview
The work involves studying site conditions, geochemical samples, erosion, sediment, groundwater and environmental impact so reclamation or remediation decisions are based on geological evidence.
In job descriptions, look for environmental site assessments, mining impact advice, groundwater studies, geochemical sampling, remediation strategies, erosion or sediment control, technical drawings and communication with project teams.

Search jobsWhat the work can involve
Environmental geologists usually work around mineral sites, contaminated land or planned remediation. They connect field observations, samples, groundwater evidence and environmental impact questions before advice is given to project or site teams.
Skills and specializations
Useful depth includes environmental legislation, site assessment, geochemical samples, groundwater, erosion control, sediment control, remediation strategies, hydrology and clear communication about mining impacts.
Salary context
Salary context depends on fieldwork responsibility, sample interpretation, remediation planning, technical reporting, project risk, travel to sites and whether the role advises operational teams or reviews evidence for decisions.
Career paths
Development can move toward senior environmental geology, site remediation, groundwater assessment, environmental impact management, mining environmental advice, technical project coordination or specialist geochemical review.
Good to know
Check whether adverts name field surveys, contaminated land, groundwater, mining sites, reclamation, remediation plans, erosion measures, sediment controls, sample analysis and reporting duties.
