About The Position

Arcadis is seeking an entry-level Environmental Engineer to join its multidisciplinary Resilience Environment team in the Indianapolis, Indiana office. This full-time position is suited to a motivated candidate interested in career growth in environmental consulting; May 2027 graduates are encouraged to apply. The role supports environmental projects from investigation through design, permitting, and remediation, working alongside task managers, technical experts, and project managers. Arcadis offers onboarding and development programs for early-career professionals. The position combines office and fieldwork. Field duties may include drilling oversight for soil sampling and groundwater well installation, groundwater sampling, excavation and subcontractor oversight, remediation-system operation and maintenance, and vapor-intrusion and soil-gas surveys. Office work may include coordinating tasks; compiling, analyzing, and interpreting data; preparing technical reports, health and safety plans, permit applications, construction documents, proposals, specifications, and cost estimates; reviewing regulatory files; and supporting project planning, scheduling, and strategy. The role also contributes to environmental remediation design, including soil and groundwater remedial systems and in-situ treatment technologies. Fieldwork may occur in all weather conditions at sites where soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, or other environmental media may have been impacted by hazardous substances or wastes. Field assignments can account for 60–80% of time during some periods. Regional travel averages up to one or two days per week, with occasional U.S. trips of up to two weeks. Estimated travel may reach 75% during the first two years and typically falls to 50% by the third year. Travel expenses are reimbursable. The role may also support national emergency-response teams during incidents such as train derailments and pipeline releases, under trained incident responders; this work can involve unanticipated travel and hours outside the standard workday.
