Are you interested in working on a data management project? Do you enjoy observing field and lab work?
If you answered yes, then this may be the job for you!
The Groundwater Monitoring Program of Environmental Services at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) has a well-established team of professionals, technologists, laboratory attendants and utility workers who provide technical services, information, and evaluations that support the environmental monitoring of CNL sites. The team is actively involved in developing, maintaining, and facilitating environmental monitoring at CNL. CNL has established a site wide Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) that will contain all the previous and future environmental data collected for the site. Whilst much of the historical data has been incorporated, there are still a variety of data (e.g., water level, stratigraphy, recently collected groundwater and soil quality) yet to be processed and transferred to EDMS. This is a very exciting opportunity for a young technician, and we look forward to working with the Environmental Monitoring Branch (EMB) Winter Student hired as they grow their skills in our company.
