Position will be compensated on an hourly basis. Candidates willing to work both full time and part time will be considered. Job schedule for most project work will be set well in advance by pre-determined sampling schedules in facility permits. The work schedule will not be evenly distributed throughout the year. Some weeks will likely result in overtime pay, while other weeks may comprise less than 40 hours.
The qualified person would work in a team environment as the supporting field team member, with a more senior Staff Geologist providing support/guidance/mentorship, as needed.
