Alternating between spiked sampling media (i.e. air, water and soil) and detectable concentration levels (i.e. low pp,. low to high ppb, and high ppt) and test Advances Operators' sample analysis training, such as chemical co-elusion, isomer analysis, RIC plot analysis, Cal-Quant Report runs, peak validation and peak integration.
• Develop Thermo Fisher Gemini educational packages (ePACs) to advance operator knowledge associated with the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman Spectroscopy in conducting environmental sampling and interpretation of analytical data in the development of health risk assessments (HRA).
• Develop Thermo Fisher Gemini (FTIR/RAMAN) Chemical Analyzer PAT samples alternating between a liquid, solid or paste that meets the detection capabilities (covalent bonds) of the instrument's FTIR and/or RAMAN spectroscopy and are listed in the instrument's onboard libraries.
• Develop HACH DR-1900 Portable Spectrophotometer educational packages (ePACs) to advance operator knowledge to effectively operate, interpret, and apply instrument data in the development of HRAs.
• Develop HACH DR-1900 Portable Spectrophotometer PAT samples that provide an unknown water sample spiked with analyte chosen from the HACH DR-1900 methods.
• Research and develop written educational packages an answer keys to advance/validate NEPMU operator cognitive and deductive reasoning to select appropriate methodologies, evaluate analytical data in the development of sound health risk assessments and risk communication, evaluating operator responses for completeness and accuracy.
• Develop post challenge results, reports, solution sets (document, power point, video, etc.) that shall be provided to the operators that explains and/or illustrates the proper analysis process of the PAT sample(s) to achieve the targeted results.
• Develop advanced Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) training materials designed to advance enterprise knowledge and competencies to effectively interpret and apply Federal Occupational Exposure Guidelines (OELs), Acute Exposure Guidelines (AEGL), Military Exposure Guidelines (MEGs), and Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) in the performance of Occupational and Environmental Health Site Assessments (OEHSA) in a deployed environment.
• Research and develop advanced Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) skills enhancement training to ensure operational readiness and mission capabilities to ascertain, interpret, and apply qualitative/quantitative exposure data in the development of Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) Health Risk Assessments (HRA) and risk communication principles.
• Provide SME consultative support to OETR mission, supporting the development of OETR education & training (E&T) product lines in the advancement of DoD technical training.
• Provide laboratory support operations in the development of PAT samples, ensuring adherence to all applicable Federal, State, and local requirements.

REQUIRED DEGREE/EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION:

• B.S. Degree in Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health, Environmental Sciences, Health Physics, Chemistry or related field of study.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Demonstrated knowledge associated with the development of Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) and conducting Occupational Environmental Health Site Selection Assessments (OEHSA), properly applying Federal Occupational Exposure Guidelines (OELs), Acute Exposure Guidelines (AEGL), Military Exposure Guidelines (MEGs), and Similar Exposure Groups (SEGs) in property identifying potentially exposure pathways.
• Demonstrated laboratory competencies to safely develop and preform quality assurance testing of laboratory proficiency testing of matrixed samples (air/water/soil) for the Inficon HAPSITE ER, Inficon HAPSITE Headspace Sampling System (HSS), Thermo Fisher Gemini, and HATCH DR1900 instrumentation.
• Demonstrated ability to research applicable DoD, DHA, federal regulations/refences/policy, and manufacture operating manuals for utilization in the development of training, presentations, multimedia scripts, job aids, tests and answer keys associated with advancing enterprise preventative medicine (PRVNTMED) and analytical capabilities of the OETR customers.

DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Experience as a Navel Expeditionary Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) Technician/Officer or USAF Bioenvironmental Engineering Officer/Technician with demonstrated experience in occupational/environmental health enterprise conducting water source selection/screening of drinking water supplies, performing area-wide sampling of air and soil determining potentially complex exposure pathways for risk characterization utilizing field portable analytical instrumentation.
• Demonstrated experience associated with analyzing occupational and environmental health hazards in a deployed setting supporting the developing risk communication plans associated with Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs), Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT), and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and associated health effects and protective action postures.
• Demonstrate analytical competencies in the utilization of field portable instrumentation and abilities to effectively troubleshoot and resolve intermediate instrumentation errors using common troubleshooting techniques.
• Proficiency to write professional educational (ePACs) and proficiency analytical testing (PAT) packages ensuring proper formatting, grammar, language technical accuracy in the development adult educational products in support of the DoD.
