Geologist Jobs in Pasadena, TX

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. Knowledge of environmental regulations and safety standards is also crucial. As for certifications, a bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field is typically required, while a master's or doctorate can provide more specialized knowledge. Professional certifications, such as the Certified Professional Geologist (CPG) or licensure in the state of practice, may be needed depending on the job role and location. Before becoming a Geologist, a person might work as a Geological Technician, Environmental Scientist, or Field Surveyor to gain practical experience in geological data collection, analysis, and reporting.
