Full job description

ERM is hiring an Environmental Technician in Sparwood, BC, Canada to carry out routine surface water monitoring across the Elk Valley.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week) limited-term role with a duration of 3 months, extendable.

Responsibilities:

Execute scheduled sampling rounds at established monitoring locations — streams, tributaries, discharge points, and receiving environment stations — following site-specific sampling plans
Collect samples in accordance with the BC Field Sampling Manual and project SOPs: correct bottle sets and order of collection, field filtration for dissolved fractions, correct preservation, and appropriate fill and headspace
Record in-situ field parameters (pH, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity) using calibrated field meters
Decontaminate sampling equipment between stations and follow clean-hands protocols to prevent cross-contamination
Observe and document field conditions: flow character, weather, ice conditions, visual water quality, access constraints, and anything anomalous
Maintain complete, legible, defensible field notes and photo documentation for every station, every visit
Collect the full suite of quality control samples on schedule — field duplicates, field and trip blanks, equipment rinsate blanks, and splits — at the frequencies set out in the sampling plan
Verify bottle labelling, station IDs, and sample dates and times against the plan before samples leave the field
Calibrate field meters daily and record calibration and verification results
Identify and report deviations honestly and immediately: missed stations, broken bottles, temperature excursions, inaccessible sites, suspected contamination. A documented deviation is recoverable; an undocumented one invalidates a dataset
Reconcile each round's field records against the sampling plan and confirm nothing was missed before closing out

Prepare bottle orders and coolers ahead of each round; manage ice packs, preservatives, and consumable inventory
Pack coolers to maintain required temperature, include temperature blanks, and protect samples in transit
Complete chain-of-custody documentation accurately and legibly — custody is a legal record and the single most common source of data disputes
Coordinate courier pickups and drop-offs to meet laboratory hold times, working backward from courier cutoffs when planning each round
Confirm sample receipt with the laboratory, and follow up promptly on receipt discrepancies, temperature exceptions, or missing bottles

Take streamflow measurements and support servicing of hydrometric stations and continuous water quality sondes
Download loggers and verify data completeness in the field

Enter and QA/QC field data into project databases and digital field forms (e.g., EQuIS, ArcGIS Field Maps)
Flag data quality issues and exceedances promptly to the project team
Draft short field summary memos documenting each sampling round

Calibrate, clean, and maintain field instruments and sampling equipment between rounds
Comply fully with ERM and client health and safety requirements, including site orientations, Field Level Risk Assessments, and journey management
Work respectfully on the territory of Ktunaxa Nation communities, following ERM and client cultural awareness protocols

Requirements:

Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Environmental Sciences, or related field is preferred.
Ability to walk long distances and carry heavy field equipment.
Ability to work in remote locations in varied weather conditions and on varied terrain.
Effective observational and organization skills; experience documenting detailed technical data an asset.
Adaptability and flexibility.
Effective communication skills.
Proficient in basic computer skills (i.e. Outlook, Word, Excel, SharePoint) for communication and field reporting.
A valid driver’s license and a good driving record; ability to drive to the various project locations; ability to rent a vehicle.

Pay Transparency:

For the Environmental Technician position, we anticipate the annual base pay of $63,000.00 - $80,140.00, $30.28/hr – $38.52/hr CAD, limited-term, non-exempt. An employee’s pay position within this range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, shift, travel requirements, sales or revenue-based metrics, and business or organizational needs. We also may have instances where employee’s fall outside of the range based on the factors noted above. This job may be eligible for bonus pay (casual and fixed term/Flexforce employees are NOT bonus eligible).

We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life & disability insurance to benefits eligible* employees.

Benefits Eligibility is limited to Regular employees regularly scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week. Fixed-Term employees (including Flexforce US Only) who are regularly scheduled to work 20 hours a week or more are eligible for a limited benefits package. Casual employees are NOT benefits eligible. See your recruiter for more details.

You can apply for this role through https://www.erm.com/careers/apply/ or through the internal careers portal if you are a current employee.

Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, determinable, and payable. The amount and availability of any bonus, commission, or any other form of compensation that are allocable to a particular employee remains in the Company's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with the law.
