Job Description

Navarro Research and Engineering is recruiting a Sampling & Analytical Data Specialist #RFP-53352 (4037) in Idaho Falls, ID.

Key Responsibilities

The Sampling & Analytical Data Specialist position supports the Idaho Environmental Coalition Sampling and Analysis group at the Idaho Cleanup Project. The role coordinates the receipt, review, validation, tracking, and transmission of sample and analytical data; prepares sampling documentation and laboratory work scopes; and works with project personnel, sampling teams, and contracted laboratories to resolve technical, contractual, and schedule issues.
This is a full-time staff augmentation assignment with a 4x10 work schedule. Full-time office work is preferred; limited telework may be authorized for the selected candidate. Regular on-site work at the SSF and Idaho Cleanup Project facilities at the Idaho National Laboratory is required, and longer-term assignments may include travel for laboratory evaluations or audits.
Support the receipt, coordination, review, and transmission of sample and analytical data, and respond to questions or issues arising during sampling events.
Prepare sampling and analysis plan tables and field guidance forms based on project requirements and sampling team needs.
Prepare task-order statements of work or statements of work for laboratory services and issue labels for sample bottles.
Coordinate with contracted laboratories to resolve issues involving analytical methods, sample volumes, bottle requirements, schedules, and data deliverables.
Track sample shipments, address shipping issues, and notify project personnel of delays affecting analytical data or project schedules.
Initiate requisitions for laboratory analysis contracts and track them through the approval process.
Review laboratory data for contractual compliance and prepare instructions necessary for data validation.
Enter validation flags assigned to analytical data based on limitations and validation reports.
Coordinate data validation activities, upload validated data into the Environmental Data Warehouse (EDW), and track sample disposition activities as needed.
Evaluate and report laboratory performance through the Laboratory Performance Evaluation Program and support technical reviews, on-site laboratory assessments, and audits.
Comply with applicable environmental, safety, health, quality, security, and pollution-prevention requirements; apply the five core functions of the Integrated Safety Management System; and report unsafe conditions promptly.
Perform work in accordance with conduct-of-operations principles and applicable emergency action, reporting, and issue-resolution procedures.

Requirements

Minimum of five years of experience working with sampling and analysis plans, laboratory analytical methods, analytical data review, and data validation processes.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate sample and analytical data activities and communicate effectively with project personnel, sampling teams, and contracted laboratories.
Experience reviewing laboratory deliverables for contractual compliance and supporting analytical data validation.
Ability to prepare technical work scopes, field guidance documentation, sample bottle labels, and laboratory contract requisitions.
Ability to work on site at the SSF and Idaho Cleanup Project facilities at the Idaho National Laboratory as required.
Ability to travel for laboratory evaluations or audits when required.
Knowledge of applicable health and safety requirements, emergency action procedures, and methods for reporting and resolving unsafe work practices or conditions.
Ability to comply with environmental, safety, health, quality, security, pollution-prevention, Integrated Safety Management System, and conduct-of-operations requirements.
Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, science, engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
Experience with Environmental Data Warehouse (EDW) data uploads, validation flags, limitations and validation reports, and sample disposition tracking.
Experience supporting laboratory performance evaluations, technical laboratory audits, or on-site laboratory assessments.
Familiarity with DOE environmental cleanup work, the Idaho Cleanup Project, Idaho National Laboratory facilities, or comparable regulated nuclear and environmental operations.
A minimum of five years of relevant experience with sampling and analysis plans, laboratory analytical methods, analytical data review, and data validation processes is required. A bachelor’s degree in chemistry, science, engineering, or a closely related technical field is preferred.
