The position also supports customer communication, directs assisting Field Technicians and Drivers, contributes to introductory-level proposal preparation, and helps train Field Chemist I and II employees.

Due to potential exposure to atmospheres, waste, and materials, the employee must remain clean-shaven to wear a respirator.
