Jason Scott

Jason is an experienced scientist who specializes in restoring the delicate ecological balance of rivers, streams, floodplains, and wetlands. As a principal and assistant natural resources & geology discipline lead, he also manages staff, collaborates closely with clients and partners, and leads a lot of GeoEngineers’ natural resource work in the region. As often as he can, Jason still loves to get into the field to enjoy the river ecosystems he helps to protect.

“I like to say that I save the fish during the week so I can catch them on the weekend,” Jason says.

In college, Jason became intrigued by fish science when he began to understand the complexity of nutrient cycling and how fish are a critical and necessary part of that balance. It set him on a path to turning his natural interests into a successful and meaningful career.

At GeoEngineers, Jason welcomes working with a multi-disciplinary team of experts and with clients who share his interests and ambitions. He especially appreciates the GeoEngineers’ people and culture.

“People here care about each other and actively promote the success of their teammates—from the CEO all the way down to intern technicians,” Jason says.

Jason remembers how quickly several GeoEngineers team members jumped in to take over his field work obligations earlier in his career, when a project’s construction phase conflicted with the birth of his twins.

Evenings and weekends, Jason is either fishing or helping operate his family’s working cattle ranch.
