RSI is recruiting for a Field Technician who will work as part of a team that operates and maintains a network of remote instrumentation, often referred to as Operational Technology (OT), and interacts with personnel assigned to provide site operations support for system operations typically located at remote sites. This instrumentation primarily collects environmental data but is also used to administer remote control and monitor treatment processes at remote sites.

The remote telemetry network is composed of data loggers, meteorological sensors, water level transducers, flow meters, and various other sensors and equipment. This instrumentation includes the site-based SOARS (System Operations and Analysis at Remote Sites) units as a critical piece of the infrastructure.
