Fairbanks, United States Battelle Full time
JOB DESCRIPTION

Battelle delivers when others can’t. We conduct research and development, manage national laboratories, design and manufacture products and deliver critical services for our clients—whether they are a multi-national corporation, a small start-up or a government agency. 

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply. 

Neon Program Overview 

The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale observation facility funded by the National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle. The NEON program is to better understand how U.S. ecosystems are changing, from freshwater systems such as streams, rivers, and lakes to terrestrial systems spanning tropical forests to deserts to tundra (neonscience.org). We depend on our people to collect observational data and samples, to monitor automated instrumented systems that collect terrestrial and aquatic data, and to operate our airborne observation platform that captures remote sensing data of regional landscapes and vegetation. 

Job Summary

We are currently seeking a Temporary Lead Field Technician. This position is in Fairbanks, AK.

Lead Field Technicians supervise and perform seasonal and periodic sampling of physical, chemical, and biological data at one (1) to five (5) field sites, while exercising good judgement and decision-making abilities to interpret protocol requirements. Lead Field Technicians are assigned an area(s) of primary responsibility within the scope of data collection: botany, soils, entomology, mammalogy (except Puerto Rico and Hawaii), limnology (except Hawaii), or instrumentation.

Field observations and collection are conducted using approximately 30 different protocols and multiple Standard Operating Procedures with varying schedule requirements based on local ecosystem and field conditions.

Individuals are responsible for their own housing and transportation to primary work location.

Location 

Remote locations. Cold winters. Short summers with near 24-hour sunlight. Our Taiga and Tundra field sites have some of the most challenging field conditions among our NEON locations—and some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife. NEON sites in the Taiga and Tundra Domains are managed from our Fairbanks, AK office.

Work Environment and Physical Demands 

The work involves walking, hiking, prolonged standing, bending, and kneeling. Heavy items, equipment and packs up to 40 pounds, must be lifted and carried on a routine basis. Field work includes exposure to extreme temperatures, inclement weather, rough and variable terrain, toxic plants (e.g., poison ivy, hogweed), stinging and biting insects, and wildlife hazards. Instrument maintenance involves performing work on instrument towers ranging in height from 24 feet to 300 feet, which includes ascending and descending multiple flights of stairs. Driving off-road in 4WD vehicles is required for most field sites. 

Work Schedule and Travel 

Work schedules are typically 8-10 hours per day but can occasionally be 12+ hours per day, including split shifts (off in the middle of the day), starting before dawn and/or ending after dusk, and weekends depending on the work assignment. The ratio of field to lab work is about 75% field and 25% office and lab duties. 

Frequent overnight travel (e.g., semi-monthly for 3-4 nights) is required. Transportation to remote work locations and per diem allowance is provided while on overnight travel. 

Responsibilities

Perform field assignments in a variety of conditions (e.g., weather, terrain, diverse assigned biomes, etc.). Follow established, standardized field procedures for sample collection; record data from sample collection in handheld tablets, computers, etc.; process and ship samples. Navigate to field sites and sampling locations. Report activities and completed work according to protocol. Follow safety policy and procedures. Report issues with implementation of procedures and coordinate resolution. Assist with routine administrative duties, special projects and other duties as assigned.

Ability to walk, hike, stand, bend, and kneel for prolonged periods.  Willingness and ability to learn and perform procedures and methods outside of the primary responsibility.  Ability to work on instrument towers ranging in height from 26 feet to 240 feet and at altitudes of up to 11,000 feet (depending on assigned Domain), involving the ability to ascend and descend multiple flights of stairs.  Ability to withstand exposure to fumes, dust, and noise. Field work may require frequent exposure to toxicodendrons (e.g., poison ivy and poison oak), ticks, biting insects and other natural hazards.  Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to follow written and verbal instructions. 

Equivalent education and experience may be considered. Previous NEON program field experience will be highly considered. 

The NEON program will take into consideration qualifications for specific and diverse experience in the following areas: 

Effective problem-solving skills and the ability to organize and execute multiple activities and priorities. Ability to proactively identify and resolve resource conflicts.  High level of attention to detail and accuracy  Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Demonstrated optimism in adverse conditions and good judgement in identifying, mitigating, and avoiding hazards.  Ability to identify good practices and areas for improvement in team performance. 

Applicants must have authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of any employment visa at this time.

Employment is contingent on background screen, drug screen, motor vehicle records check and physical.
