Producing complete, accurate, and concise documentation.

Level I - 0 to 3 years of experience and basic knowledge in the relevant fields.
Level II - 3 to 10 years of experience and general knowledge in the relevant fields.

Supervision Exercised:

Level II and Level III Technicians may oversee less experienced staff when multi-person teams are deployed to assignments in remote locations lacking dedicated onsite supervisors and managers.

Supervisory responsibilities will be communicated by management prior to field assignments to ensure expectations, responsibilities, accountabilities, and authorities are clearly understood by team members.


Working and Physical Conditions:
Tasks may require the candidate to wear respirators and other personal protective equipment (PPE). Meet site-specific fit-for-duty physical requirements, as well as obtain any additional regulatory medical clearances (i.e., HAZWOPER) as necessary to support projects.

Work may occur in various locations, including job sites undergoing remediation, demolition projects, operational facilities, and remote outdoor areas.

Potential exposure to hazardous substances and environments (e.g., radioactive materials, chemicals, biota, vegetation, water, temperature extremes, weather, slip-trip-fall hazards, heavy equipment, electricity and hazardous energy, falling objects, hand and power tools, and heavy machinery). ARS Aleut maintains a comprehensive safety management program to mitigate these hazards and ensure a safe, Zero Incidents, working environment.

The candidate must possess the physical capability to perform moderate to heavy work - lifting, lowering, and carrying up to 50 pounds (lifting more than 50 pounds requires the use of a two-person 'buddy system'), walking, kneeling, squatting, reaching, and manipulating sampling equipment.

Ability to walk long distances (e.g., 1 to 2 miles) on rough or muddy terrain, up and down slopes, while carrying sampling gear, to reach sampling locations.
