Working Conditions
Much of the work is in an office setting; but fieldwork along waterways or on rough terrain is expected and may be required to complete assigned work. Travel is an essential function of the position. Overnight stays and/or extended work hours can be expected along with exposure to inclement weather and road conditions. Work hours during field work can be irregular and sometimes long. Visits to on-site locations may be by vehicle, watercraft or on foot. Site visits may involve walking over uneven terrain or in wet muddy ground without pathways in all types of weather.  This position is also exposed to heavy machinery activity, laboratory equipment and chemical materials.
