Here’s some excellent opportunities for our students, based locally.
The Environmental Assessment Program (EAP) program within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill SEVEN Watershed Health Monitoring Technician (Environmental Technician) positions. The positions will start June 16th and will receive training in our Headquarters office in Lacey, WA.
The positions will be located in Lacey but work primarily in the Snake River Region from July 1st – October 30th. Travel and lodging will be reimbursed by the Department of Ecology.
The positions give you the opportunity to use what you’ve learned in school and apply it to environmental sampling techniques. Some of the key work activities include: Biological monitoring, water quality sampling, chemical sampling, and using different types of monitoring equipment. The information that you collect helps to assess the health of the watershed. The data is used to help develop a plan to improve watershed health.
We are looking for applicants who are motivated, adaptable, team-oriented, dedicated and who have a desire to gain experience in environmental sampling.
