This position will be based out of DEQ’s Medford office; however, the successful candidate may be eligible for hybrid work. The logistics of hybrid work will need to be worked out with the Hiring Manager prior to your hire and may be changed at any time given specific job duties and business needs. DEQ will provide necessary hardware (laptop, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and cell phone) for an employee to successfully work from home. At DEQ sites, you will have access to a workspace, however, it may be shared with other employees.
This position requires frequent travel by car statewide for meetings, trainings, public hearings, conferences, workshops, seminars, and field visits (such as wastewater treatment facilities, land application sites, and spill or complaint sites). During field visits, there is the potential for exposure to pollutants, pathogens or hazardous materials, chemicals, contaminated soil and water, fumes, airborne contaminants, challenging field conditions (steep slopes, heavy vegetation, and uneven terrain), and inclement weather. Evening and weekend work, as well as overnight stays, will occur.
Because this work requires the incumbent to operate a motor vehicle, personal or state-owned, the incumbent must have a valid driver’s license and complete the defensive driving safety class every two (2) years.
