LNG Environmental Technician FINAL
www.careersinoilandgas.com
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICIAN #EnvironmentalFieldTechnician #FieldSpecialist #ReclamationTechnician #HazTechWasteTechnician The river is your office. The forest is your cubicle. The sky is your workstation. You bring the world around you to engineers and scientists in the office. You monitor and test natural habitats to understand, measure and remediate any industry impacts. Do you love being outdoors? Do you want to improve emissions and the environment? Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty? If so, you may want to consider a career as an Environmental Technician.
What does this career look like? You care about the environment and you want to be part of the solution. You work inside the industry to protect natural habitats. It often involves working outside. You collect and test air, water and soil samples to make sure your company is in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. After taking samples to the laboratory you and your team of environmental professionals evaluate the results and compare them to previous results and national standards. You interact with the team members and you are actively involved in the planning stages of your projects.

What would I do? You are a doer. You study the baseline levels of emissions and then continuously monitor the area for any environmental impacts. You maintain accurate and complete records of field data and the results, and perform environmental site assessments. You also work to clean up any areas that have been contaminated. As an example, your team might begin by mapping and building a number of monitoring stations to test some areas. You’ll gather baseline samples, and then continue to collect samples from these stations on a regular basis, ensuring they are functioning properly. Once you have collected samples, you take them to the laboratory for analysis. This will tell you if there are emission trends you should be worried about, and if the quality levels are above or below legal limits. You then work to prepare a summary report of your findings. Depending on the results, you may start remediation work. You develop plans to remediate the rest of the area under the direction of engineering staff.

HOW DO I GET HERE? A two-year post-secondary diploma is typically required for a technician role. A post-secondary diploma or degree in environmental, geoscience technology or health and safety may be required by some companies to advance to a technologist role. To become a Certified Engineering Technician, a period of supervised work experience, usually two years, is required.
HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING Health and Safety courses would depend on locations and activity, but the following often apply. • Standard and emergency first aid • Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) • Construction Safety Training System (CSTS) • Pipeline Construction Safety Training (PCST) • H2S Alive • Respirator fit testing • Traffic control • Ground disturbance • Transportation of dangerous goods (TDG)
HOW CAN I WORK IN LNG? As Canada prepares for the launch of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector, this occupation will play a key role in: • LNG export facility construction • LNG export facility operations • Natural gas pipeline construction When LNG takes off, you can be a part of the action!
