• Assist with standardizing, optimizing and improving documentation to support the NBS program.
• Assist with creating, automating, and optimizing workflows for various subject matter such as hydrography, physics, and geodesy in relation to the NBS program.
• These tasks also include the following travel:
• Travel to meet with the NBS Team once per year for an annual planning session. Travel may be subject to change based on government needs, conference schedules, and availability.

Bachelor's degree in hydrography, ocean mapping, physical science, marine science, oceanography, physics, related discipline, or equivalent (education equivalency: 4 years of work experience)
