Environmental Field Technician – Water Sampling; PFAS & COlilert

I-2-I Solutions is seeking a qualified Environmental Water Sampler to support federal water quality and PFAS (Per‑and‑Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) sampling projects. This role involves collecting drinking water and environmental samples in accordance with strict federal, state, and laboratory protocols, with a strong emphasis on contamination prevention and data integrity.

• Perform field sampling of drinking water systems, including PFAS, Colilert, PH, Chlorine…
• Follow strict PFAS sampling protocols to prevent cross‑contamination
• Accurately complete Chain‑of‑Custody (COC) documentation
• Label, preserve, and package samples for laboratory shipment
• Maintain proper sample handling procedures (cooling, storage, and transport)
• Deliver collected samples to the appropriate laboratory or to the Fed Ex/UPS location
• Coordinate with project managers and laboratory partners
• Follow site‑specific safety and access requirements (including VA facilities)
• Maintain field logs, sampling records, and QA/QC documentation

• Use of PFAS‑free materials and avoidance of prohibited items (e.g., Teflon/PTFE‑containing materials)
• Proper use of powder less nitrile gloves and frequent glove changes
• Strict control of sample containers (only open during collection, never placed on surfaces)
• Avoidance of cross‑contamination from clothing, food packaging, and personal care products
• Maintenance of a clean sampling environment and equipment

PFAS sampling requires heightened contamination control due to widespread presence in consumer products and extremely low detection limits.

• Experience in water sampling, environmental fieldwork, or related discipline preferred
• Familiarity with EPA or state sampling procedures (drinking water, Legionella, or PFAS is a plus)
• Ability to follow detailed technical instructions and SOPs
• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
• Ability to work independently in the field

• Experience with PFAS sampling or low‑level contaminant sampling
• Knowledge of QA/QC procedures (field blanks, duplicates, etc.)
• Experience working on federal or VA contracts
• OSHA 10/30 or similar safety training

• Ability to walk, stand, and carry sampling equipment
• Comfortable working in mechanical rooms, rooftops, and facility environments
• Ability to travel locally between sampling sites
• Must be able to follow PPE and safety protocols

• Competitive hourly rate (based on experience)
• Travel reimbursement (if applicable)

• Work on high‑impact federal environmental projects
• Opportunity for repeat and long‑term contract work
• Growing company with strong partnerships in water quality and laboratory services

Please submit your resume and a brief summary of your field sampling experience.
