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 hiring a Scientist V to bring expert-level knowledge and leadership to our growing team of environmental professionals.

You’ll serve as a senior technical authority in areas such as wetlands, stream morphology, soils, water quality, and more—guiding internal teams, clients, and regulatory agencies with deep scientific insight. If you are passionate about advancing ecological science, mentoring others, and influencing how restoration gets done, this role is for you. Why You’ll Love This Job At RES, you’ll work at the intersection of science, policy, and impact.

As a Scientist V, you won’t just lead studies—you’ll help shape how the entire company collects, interprets, and applies data across diverse ecosystems and projects. You’ll be looked to as a trusted expert, not just internally, but by clients and regulators alike. Whether it’s presenting to an agency, designing a data collection protocol, or guiding junior scientists, you’ll be doing meaningful work that drives real environmental outcomes.

A Day in the Life Picture this: You start your day preparing for a field visit with a client and agency team, where you’ll lead discussions on data collection goals and review field methodologies. Back at your desk, you review a junior scientist’s functional assessment report, offering coaching on both technical content and storytelling. After lunch, you check in with project managers on staffing needs for a multi-state project, then hop on a call with other regional experts to review new SOP recommendations.

You end your day drafting talking points for an upcoming conference panel, where you'll represent RES as a thought leader in your field.
