• Waste Management: Carry out operational waste management tasks by following established processes. This will involve adjusting multiple settings or parameters to meet performance standards.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Perform basic tasks in technical troubleshooting, such as identifying evident technical issues with equipment and experiments and assisting in basic diagnostic actions.

What you'll bring to the team:

• Up to 5 years of environmental field experience

• Familiarity with control systems for treatment equipment (i.e. SCADA/PLC/HMI)

• Good mechanical skills as well as solid troubleshooting abilities

• Ability and willingness to travel and perform field work 80-100% of the time (this will include working outdoors in adverse weather conditions)
