Purpose of Job
Primary Purpose of Job:
• Stantec is seeking qualified individuals to perform field and laboratory environmental data management and data reviews as a part of the Environmental Remediation. Stantec conducts environmental site assessments and the remediation of contaminated land across the globe. These projects typically involve the collection of soil, ediment, surface water, groundwater, and air samples for laboratory analysis to evaluate general chemistry, as well as inorganic, and organic constituents in these media. Data quality assessments involve a preliminary review of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples (e.g., trip blanks, field blanks, duplicates) and laboratory reviews (i.e., case narratives) to evaluate the quality of the analytical data. Data management is a more formal, rigorous process to evaluate the quality of laboratory data, field logs and groundwater sampling data. Candidate must be able to successfully manage and maintain large environmental datasets.
