Consequence of Error/Judgement

The Field Assistant is a representative of the CSFS and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. This individual’s approach and delivery of information in dealing with the general public and a variety of site users present at the UBC Farm site reflect on these units. Therefore, ensuring a high regard for professionalism, safety, and adherence to UBC policies is of considerable importance. When dealing with equipment, the Field Assistant will need to critically assess each operation before proceeding in order to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. When using high-powered equipment, poor judgment of the operating conditions and context can result in operator injury or death. Safety orientations and training will be provided before the assignment of tasks that require the use of such equipment. Poor judgment, failure to defer problems to supervisors, and failure to abide by standard procedures could also adversely impact research projects at the farm.

Supervision Received

The Field Assistant is expected to perform routine tasks of limited complexity independently according to established procedures and guidelines and to exercise a moderate degree of autonomy.

When special events or circumstances require, work will be performed after normal business hours. Because of the seasonal nature of the UBC Farm work, a heavier workload is the norm from April through November.
