Our goals are to preserve, protect, and restore Cape Cod’s natural resources and environment (https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapcc.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7C0b6821569e0a42c8691208db0464e605%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638108603625756577%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=587qyJRvQQ%2BXb70hkgoBuJ5eW3gmFbVDltuqvg0KLKs%3D&reserved=0 ). Our monitoring programs are designed to provide science-based information to inform outreach, policies, and actions to achieve these goals.

Together with the Senior Water Quality technician, the Pond Monitoring Technician will organize logistics, mobilization, and demobilization, work with partners and contractors; conduct data management and data analysis; and assist in preparation of reports. The candidate must have their own vehicle and driver's license as work often involves traveling to and from sampling locations (mileage to and from APCC will be covered).

  *   Data management and data analysis using Excel;
  *   Preparation of reports;
  *   Excellent communication skills (verbal, written);

The Pond Monitoring Technician will report to the Project Manager for Pond and Cyanobacteria Monitoring and will work with the APCC Project Team (i.e., Executive Director, Director of Science Programs, and the Director of Outreach and Education). Work with other staff may occur as directed.

This is a salaried full-time, half-year position. Salary is commensurate with experience. We endeavor to provide a supportive, creative, motivating, and safe work environment and offer generous benefits inclusive of paid leave and health benefits. APCC is an equal opportunity employer.
