THE POLAR FIELD SERVICES, INC. MISSION
We are a rare company. Since 1999, we’ve been taking our clients wherever they need to go, no matter how remote the location or challenging the conditions may be. We plan their expeditions, keep them safe in places that are anything but, and supply food, shelter, power, water, and waste removal. We then return the site to such a pristine condition no one would ever know we were there. We haven’t been everywhere. Just a lot of places most people haven’t.
Our team is made up of skilled people who are passionate about supporting cutting-edge science and making a difference in our world. As thanks for their courage and hard work, we offer excellent compensation and outstanding benefits. We take our jobs seriously, but our company culture is relaxed, dog-friendly, and casually dressed. We are looking to add more adventurous souls to our team!
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ARCTIC SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT COORDINATOR
In this logistics role, you’re essential to our field science operations. Our research team relies on you to ensure they have the right equipment and gear when they need it. Attentive to detail, you keep an accurate inventory of items in our camp. When a team member needs a piece of equipment, they come to you for help. You check the item out and allocate it to them, updating the inventory log with the relevant information. As someone who is tech-savvy, you also get team members set up with the right configuration of communications equipment.
When the gear is returned, you inspect it carefully for signs of wear or damage. You repair what you can and keep an updated list of inventory that needs to be replaced. Your friendly personality has made you a welcome visitor in community shops, and you support local businesses by obtaining supplies and services from them. You’ve also been cross-trained to help with other operational needs, and you occasionally deploy to camps or villages to lend a hand with tasks such as passenger transport and equipment operation. You can hardly believe you landed a job in such a beautiful, wild place!
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR IN AN ARCTIC SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT COORDINATOR
- High school diploma or equivalent
- 3+ years of administrative, customer service, and/or data management experience
- Intermediate computer skills
- Valid US driver’s license and passport
Experience with remote site and/or polar logistics operations would be an asset. Sewing and field gear repair skills would be beneficial. Hazardous material shipment certifications such as Transportation of Hazardous Materials (49CFR), IATA Dangerous Good Regulations (DGR), and Military Airlift of Hazardous Materials (AFMAN current version) would be a plus!
Are you attentive to detail and highly organized? Do you have a friendly personality and the ability to maintain positive working relationships? Are you responsible and trustworthy? If yes, you could be the person we’re looking for!
