Field sampling for environmental compliance, contamination remediation, and subsurface exploration. Includes soil and groundwater sampling and soil and rock identification.Historical site research to understand possible contaminants, geology of the land for geotechnical and environmental purposes, and potential issues with construction to provide better context going into a project. Use GPS to lay stakes and paint future borehole and test pit locations in Phase I site development. Effectively communicate field updates both in real time and in daily or weekly write ups for full transparency between field progress and office planning with the project manager.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Utilized, maintained, and calibrated benchtop chemistry instruments such as pH, conductivity, fluoride, turbidity, UV, and color to conduct daily quality control tests for raw and six stages of treated waterTested daily for presence/absence of total coliform bacteria and E. coli bacteria on all samples using sterile lab procedures Collected samples throughout the city and watershed for use in water quality testing required by MassDEPDetermined flow discharge measurements using the FlowTraker2 ADV during watershed field sampling in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the drinking water entering the treatment plant Prepared samples for metals testing by EPA method 200.8 on ICP-MS Utilized many types of laboratory equipment such as micropipettes, class A pipettes and glassware, and balances in accordance with state regulations for a certified labReported and maintained all results in a laboratory information management system Assisted with and learned about the implementation of PFAS testing with LCMS and EPA method 537.1 by collecting, cleaning, and analyzing experimental samples to understand the procession of PFAS concentration in various stages of drinking water treatment
