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.
RES is looking for a Scientist II to join our team.
As a Scientist II at RES, you will support the implementation, monitoring, and success of ecological restoration projects across diverse ecosystems. This is a mid-level field and data-focused role that combines fieldwork, technical reporting, and cross-functional coordination to support permitting and compliance documentation. You will collect and manage data, contribute to project reporting, and bring applied knowledge of restoration science to project execution.
Watch the projects our scientists work on here.
The position also includes an in-house assignment with the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Planning and Environmental Management Office, supporting one of RES Florida’s longest-standing and most valued clients. In this role, you will review transportation projects for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other federal and state environmental policies. Responsibilities will include evaluating the social, cultural, natural, and physical environment; developing avoidance and minimization strategies; identifying the need for additional environmental studies; and documenting project compliance. Additional responsibilities may include wetland and protected-species field reviews, environmental database development and management, environmental permitting support, technical reporting, and other environmental tasks.
Why You’ll Love This Job:
What your day-to-day might look like:
For days in the field, you’ll begin your day prepping field gear for a site visit to various settings such as a wetland mitigation site or protected species habitat. Once on-site, you may collect data following project-specific protocols and QA/QC standards. You’ll help complete field datasheets, making sure they are accurate, and troubleshoot equipment as needed.
Back at the office, you’ll enter and analyze field data, draft sections of reports, and interpret site plans or planting palettes. You might meet with design or regulatory teammates to discuss a site’s feasibility based on regulatory or ecological constraints. You’ll balance independent work with collaborative efforts to move projects forward.
