Job Type
Full-time
Description
Biological Technicians - NOAA Fisheries Sea-Going Surveys (Levels I-III)
Location: Woods Hole, MA (with assignments on NOAA and partner vessels throughout the Northeast U.S.)
Position Summary
Orchard is hiring Biological Technicians (Levels I-III) to support NOAA Fisheries' Ecosystem Surveys Branch (ESB). Technicians collect and process biological samples and environmental data during fishery-independent resource surveys. Work includes at-sea survey participation (5-140+ days annually), data QA/QC, sample processing, and equipment support. This is a hands-on science role that directly supports stock assessments and ecosystem-based fisheries management.
Responsibilities
  • Participate in sea-going surveys aboard NOAA and partner vessels (sorting, identifying, weighing, measuring fish/invertebrates, collecting biological samples for age, growth, maturity, genetics, diet).
  • Stand scientific watches of up to 12 hours/day at sea.
  • Operate electronic data acquisition systems for fisheries and oceanographic sampling.
  • Assist with deployment, calibration, and maintenance of survey gear, acoustics, and optical/video equipment.
  • Conduct QA/QC of survey data using NOAA protocols; prepare documentation of sampling procedures and metadata.
  • Annotate benthic imagery and optical survey data as directed.
  • Maintain, repair, and inventory sampling hardware (measuring boards, motion-compensated scales, barcode systems, touch screens).
  • Support cruise staging/de-staging, equipment prep, and vessel logistics.
  • Contribute to laboratory analysis of biological samples and assist with database management.
  • Train new staff (Levels II & III) and provide leadership of field parties/watches at sea (Level III).
  • Summarize survey data, assist with reports, and contribute to outreach materials (manuals, protocols, blogs, newsletters).
Qualifications
General Requirements (all levels):
  • Experience working aboard research or commercial vessels.
  • Ability to work 12-hour shifts at sea for trips lasting up to 3 weeks.
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills in challenging field environments.
  • Must meet NOAA OMAO sea duty health criteria and provide proof of recent TB test.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office; familiarity with data entry and QA/QC practices.
  • Valid driver's license.

Level I (Entry/Seasonal Technician):
  • Basic familiarity with marine species ID in the Northwest Atlantic (fish/invertebrates).
  • Coursework or experience in biological sciences preferred.
  • Able to assist with sampling, data recording, and shipboard organization under supervision.

Level II (Experienced Technician):
  • Minimum 2 years' experience identifying fish and invertebrates in the Northwest Atlantic.
  • At least 1 year of experience with survey bottom trawls or shellfish dredges.
  • Experience with fishery sampling hardware (electronic boards, scales, barcode systems).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to work independently.

Level III (Senior Technician):
  • Minimum 200 days at sea (Bottom Trawl Survey) or 100 days (Shellfish/Advanced Tech Surveys).
  • At least 2 years' experience with electronic data acquisition systems.
  • Experience leading watches/field teams of up to 7 at sea.
  • Familiarity with acoustic net mensuration systems (Scanmar, Simrad, Marport).
  • Experience querying/analyzing fishery-independent data from relational databases (e.g., Oracle).
  • Ability to train staff, conduct QA/QC, and contribute to protocol development.
