Once you gain experience and training, there is flexibility to drive straight to project sites if it makes more sense logistically. The company has a large Emergency Response division, requiring environmental scientists to be on call for ERs one week per month. Most fieldwork involves daily travel, but some Florida-related projects may require overnight stays.
