Saskatoon, Canada Maven Water and Environment Full time

**The Opportunity**

We are looking for three (3) Junior Scientists to add to our Saskatoon team working on Mine Water Treatment. You will assist in the monitoring of water treatment projects focused on passive, semi-passive, and biological water treatment in the mining sector. This includes a blend of hands-on sampling, data entry, and reporting. These projects currently include constructed wetland treatment systems, gravel bed bioreactors, in situ treatment (pit lakes, mine pools), saturated rock fills, and improvements of active biological systems. Most projects are in our testing facilities in Saskatoon but may involve periodic on-site monitoring during the summer (i.e., travel to mine sites to work on projects). You will get to make a difference in the environmental sector by working in an innovative, growing company with a strong reputation. A blend of hands-on and desktop work (graphing, reporting), this position is a unique opportunity to develop and expand your career.

**Be Part of Something Meaningful**

At Maven, we believe in a sustainable future where clean energy and products are made with mínimal impact on water and the environment. We are growing our team to meet the ever-increasing demand for our services and technologies. As part of a small growing team, you will have exposure to a wide range of opportunities and the ability to specialize or diversify your role as we grow. We collaborate with larger consulting firms, which will give you access to a range of additional experts and systems. Our values of Always Evolving, Be the Catalyst, and Celebrate Uniqueness are at the core of everything we do at Maven.

Maven operates a one-of-a-kind water treatment pilot facility and laboratory in Saskatoon. This allows us to advance emerging technologies and develop and optimize existing technologies in site-specific ways. This expands to our proprietary on-site mobile pilot-scale units used at mine sites across Canada. As part of our services, we also do traditional desktop consulting, including regulatory assistance and developing technology readiness assessments and maturation plans.

**What you will be doing**

As a blend of hands-on and desktop work, the day-to-day can vary. You can expect some days (or weeks) to be entirely desktop, and others entirely hands-on. Others will be in between.

In all aspects of the role, you will be expected to learn as much and as fast as you can from as many sources as possible to grow your knowledge, skills, and abilities.

The hands-on component of this role includes the following:

- Perform sampling and measurements for laboratory and pilot experiments such as:

- Flow rate measurements
- Water sampling
- Multimeter measurements
- Substrate sampling
- Photometer assays
- Operate and maintain laboratory and pilot-scale equipment such as:

- Photometer
- Multimeter
- Balances
- Incubators
- Dosing pumps
- Follow the procedures in place to ensure the quality and integrity of results and safety for all involved.
- Maintaining a clean scientific working environment.

The desktop component of this role may include some or all the following. Please let us know in your cover letter which aspects you have experience in:

- Perform data entry and quality control.
- Graphing and editing of graphs in excel.
- Document formatting.
- Document editing (grammar, acronym usage, writing style, etc), using AI-assisted tools.
- Electronic file management for projects (uploading, naming, etc).
- Social media updates.
- Graphic design for scientific communication (flow diagrams, info graphics).

**Your Experience and Qualifications**
- Polytechnic Diploma or University Degree in a related field (e.g., environmental science, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, biochemistry, water resources, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, etc)
- 0-2 years of relevant experience.
- Ability to follow/interpret work instructions, methods, and procedures.
- Highly reliable.
- Eagerness to learn and expand your knowledge and skills.
- Comfortable working in high-growth environments with fluctuating needs.
- Ability to do hands-on physical work in the pilot area.
- Proven computer skills include using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and Outlook) such as track changes, inserting captions and cross-references, and using style templates.
- Tip: as you are new to the workforce, include your other types of work experience (e.g., service industries, retail, hospitality, restaurants, etc). Your work ethic and diversity of experience matter

**Schedule**
- Flexible work schedules once onboarded, trained, and integrated into projects.
- Evening, weekend, or overtime work may be required occasionally based on project and client needs.
- Travel may be possible depending on client and project needs.

**Benefits**

Our modern benefits are one of the many reasons why Maven was named Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce's 2022 Business of the Year
- Modern incentive programs (including financial rewards, addit
