Testing & documentation: perform field and lab tests, maintain equipment, and ensure accurate, complete reporting.

Experience shifting work hours based on project needs and weather conditions, including early mornings, some Saturdays, and overtime (paid at time and a half).
What You Bring

The curiosity and willingness to learn; obtaining certifications is part of your growth.
A strong work ethic and a team mindset.
Strong attention to detail and effective communication skills in English, including speaking, reading, and writing.
Basic math skills with an understanding of weight, volume, pressure, and units of measure.
The understanding of a fluctuating schedule and occasional travel.

Working the majority of the time outdoors in varying weather conditions.
Walking over rough, uneven terrain and standing for potentially long periods.
Routinely lifting and carrying 40-50 lbs (field/laboratory samples and equipment).
