What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Coordinator - GLISN position at Polar Field Services?
Craving adventure and a chance to make a real impact on climate science? Then grab your parka and get ready for an unforgettable experience as a Field Coordinator with the Greenland Ice Sheet Monitoring Network (GLISN)!
This isn't your typical office gig. We're talking serious fieldwork on the Greenland Ice Sheet near Raven Camp, where you'll play a crucial role in retrieving a buried science instrument - a whopping 30-40 feet below the surface! Think of it as an archaeological dig, but with cutting-edge technology and a whole lot of ice.
What you'll be doing:
- Conquering the Cold: Get ready for some serious physical labor! You'll be part of a team using snow machines, chainsaws, shovels, and a winching system to unearth our precious instrument. Consider this your ultimate Arctic workout!
- Gear Guru: From chainsaws to winches, you'll become a master of the tools of the trade (with proper training, of course!).
- Camp Crusader: Help keep our remote camp running smoothly. This means everything from bear fence maintenance and waste disposal to lending a hand with cooking and housekeeping. (Yes, you'll even get to participate in bear watches!)
- Cargo Commander: Assist with the logistics of getting our equipment and the retrieved instrument to and from Kangerlussuaq.
- Safety Superstar: Adhere to all safety protocols and help ensure a safe and productive expedition for the whole team.
What you'll need:
- A can-do attitude and a thirst for adventure.
- Physical fitness and stamina to handle the demands of the job.
- A team player spirit and a willingness to pitch in wherever needed.
- A respect for the Arctic environment and a commitment to safety.
The adventure awaits!
This 3-4 week field campaign (plus additional days in Kangerlussuaq) offers a unique opportunity to contribute to vital climate research while experiencing the raw beauty of Greenland.
