About seasonal & short-term jobs
Seasonal and short-term jobs are tied to a field season, a single project, or a period when a firm needs extra crew. Many are on-call, temporary or as-needed, so hours and end dates vary from one posting to the next. Pay is often hourly, and some employers add per diem or lodging.
These jobs are a common way into the field, and a good way to build the experience that longer-term positions ask for. Field seasons often run spring through fall in northern states, while warmer states can keep crews working most of the year.
Employers with current openings include Langan, Great Basin Institute and SWCA Environmental Consultants.
