Back to jobsInstallation of sensor packages at creek and stormwater monitoring sites, including sensors for electrical conductivity, temperature, depth, velocity, turbidity sensors, and low-resolution cameras.
Support the setup of data loggers, battery systems, and internet connectivity hardware at field sites.
Installation of secure equipment housing and ensuring equipment is properly protected in field conditions.
Conduct water sampling using grab and automatic water samplers and analyze these samples for physical and chemical parameters
Follow site access protocols and coordinate with supervisor regarding site security requirements.
Document equipment installation with photographs and written records.
Routine Equipment Maintenance: schedule and perform maintenance visits to sensor sites, following prescribed timelines, including calibration and cleaning of sensors according to standard operating procedures.
Maintain inventory of field equipment and supplies; flag when consumables or replacement parts are needed.
Field work may include coordination with water sampling technicians and assisting with weekly grab sampling, and/or collection of field measurements using portable probes (dissolved oxygen, temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, turbidity) following established protocols.
Data and Record Keeping: maintain organized, accurate field logbooks and equipment records; assist with basic quality checks on collected data, flagging anomalies to the supervisor; support preparation of equipment performance reports and data quality documentation.
