Work Environment

The work environment is highly field-driven, physically demanding, and travel-intensive. Technicians operate across the Pacific Northwest—primarily along the I-5 corridor, with occasional assignments in Eastern Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Guam (except more work is currently focused in WA and OR). Fieldwork comprises long 8–10+ hour days spent climbing ladders over 75 feet, hoisting equipment by rope, and working outdoors in varied industrial settings. Travel is scheduled up to six months in advance and includes overnight hotel stays, full per diem, and use of a company vehicle with a mobile lab trailer. When not in the field, technicians work from the office, prepping jobs, packing samples, repairing equipment, and performing data entry and analysis. The role demands adaptability, mechanical grit, and a strong safety mindset, with weekend work occurring infrequently but possible. It’s a hands-on, apprenticeship-style environment where learning happens through direct experience and collaboration with seasoned environmental professionals.
