Responsibilities
Our projects involve a considerable amount of overnight travel, generally in the United States, including Guam and Hawaii. The field-testing portion of each project typically lasts from 1 to 5 days, and the test teams are generally home on the weekends, but some projects may require working or traveling on a weekend. The number of people needed in the field and the number of days in the field varies with each project and changes from week to week. Expect 75% of the weeks to involve field work with overnight stays.
During testing, the Environmental Technician / Scientist will be at the location recording data, operating equipment, or working in the trailer recovering samples, performing analysis, etc. When not in the field, duties may include equipment calibrations and repairs, prep and packing for future projects, data reduction and processing, report writing, lab work, and tasks of that nature.

Expect your colleagues to share their knowledge and help you develop into an industry expert as you advance. We pride ourselves on helping each other succeed through on the job training and coaching. The experienced Environmental Scientist typically advances into either a client-oriented career path of project management and business development or into a technical oriented career path working with the latest monitoring and analytical equipment.
