A role that exists to protect something bigger than any single project: the health of our oceans and the integrity of the decisions that affect them. When quality is high, science advances and ecosystems are protected. When it isn’t, the consequences can be irreversible. This is your chance to support the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) as a Quality Assurance Specialist, ensuring the data used to guide offshore energy, development, environmental protection, and scientific research is accurate, complete, and trustworthy. Your work will focus on ensuring the quality and usability of BOEM’s geophysical and seismic datasets. You will conduct detailed manual and automated reviews, verify metadata and formatting, and audit repositories to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or integrity issues. You’ll develop scripts to support continuous monitoring and quality assurance efforts, prepare clear, well-structured reports that communicate findings to BOEM personnel. If you are methodical, analytical, thoughtful, and ready to take ownership of quality and take pride in work that is thorough, defensible, and well-documented, join XTS today!
