Geologist Jobs in Lakewood, CO

A Geologist in the utilities industry plays a crucial role in assessing and managing geological risks and resources that impact utility operations. They offer expertise on soil and rock properties, ground stability, and water characteristics to guide the development and maintenance of utility infrastructure such as power plants, transmission lines, pipelines, and water systems. They also conduct field studies, prepare geological maps and reports, and conduct risk assessments to ensure the safety and resilience of utility services against geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and soil erosion.

Important skills for this role include strong analytical abilities, proficiency in geographical information systems (GIS) and other relevant software, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
