Works in a collaborative environment with other staff at the UBC Farm, the CSFS, and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. May supervise 2 or 3 seasonal field workers or assistants. Provides in-field task supervision and practical training to other student employees, students, and volunteers.

Consequence of Error/Judgement

The Field Coordinator 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 Coordinator 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. Day-to-day decisions regarding crop planting, care, and harvest have a considerable impact on crop quality and timing, which in turn impacts the financial viability, teaching quality, and research capacity of the farm.

Supervision Received

Reports to and works under the general supervision of the Lead Field Coordinator. Must show a significant degree of autonomy and be able to make day-to-day decisions independently, but refers unusual problems and high-impact decisions to superiors.

Supervision Given

May oversee and direct the work of a small group of junior staff or student employees. May provide input into seasonal staff selection and performance evaluation. Trains and supervises new employees, students, and volunteers; and is responsible for the accuracy, production and control of the work.

Working Conditions

Work takes place both indoors and outdoors at the UBC Farm. Shared indoor office space is provided at the UBC Farm, though the incumbent will be required to communicate with other UBC Farm staff to avoid space conflicts. Outdoor duties are performed in all kinds of weather, involve manual field work and entail the use of a wide variety of equipment and machinery. Large heavy machinery includes tractors, discs, rototillers, ploughs and compost spreaders. Smaller equipment includes brush cutters, backpack sprayers, pressure washers, powered shop tools, hand tools, and small lawnmower
