CAUTION: EXTERNAL SENDER
The mission of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is to protect and enhance the Commonwealth's natural resources – air, water, and land – to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of all people, and to ensure a clean and safe environment for future generations. In carrying out this mission MassDEP commits to address and advance environmental justice and equity for all people of the Commonwealth; provide meaningful, inclusive opportunities for people to participate in agency decisions that affect their lives; and ensure a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
MassDEP seeks applicants for the position of Quality Assurance Analyst (Environmental Analyst IV) in the Watershed Planning Program (WPP), Division of Watershed Management, Bureau of Water Resources. WPP is a statewide program with five Sections that each have a different technical focus under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), such as the Data Management and Water Quality Assessment Section, which manages key data systems to ensure that QA goals and requirements are met for multiple water resource management objectives. For example, WPP collects chemical, physical, and biological data to determine the health status of surface waters throughout the Commonwealth pursuant to CWA s. 305(b) and s. 303(d), which are reported biennially to EPA.
Under the supervision of the Data Management and Water Quality Assessment Section Chief or designee, duties for the Quality Assurance Analyst will include overseeing the quality assurance and quality control system for WPP’s monitoring program; ensuring data produced by WPP are of known and documented quality and suitable for intended purposes; reviewing external monitoring plans, QAPPs, SOPs, and data submittals to MassDEP; and coordinating with external groups to ensure data of sufficient quality and quantity are available to WPP. The Quality Assurance Analyst will additionally be responsible for coordinating QA activities for MassDEP’s Bureau of Water Resources. Excellent organizational skills are required, as well as the ability to manage and work on multiple projects concurrently, meet deadlines, and work well both independently and as a member of a team. The position will be subject to a hybrid work environment (i.e., partly telework and partly on-site), with a minimum of one day per week in Worcester at the Watershed Planning Program’s office.
We appreciate your help in sharing this announcement with qualified candidates and colleagues who can provide a wider distribution. See the link below for a detailed job description and application information. Requisitions typically remain open until filled, but first consideration will be given to applications received within 14 days of the September 11th posting date. All candidates are requested to provide a position-specific cover letter and resume with their application.
