The hydrometric technologist uses state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and methods to collect and process hydrometric data. At each station, water level data are recorded continuously in digital form using an automated electronic recorder, orquot;data logger quot;. The technologist visits the station several times a year to perform maintenance and to take measurements of water depth and velocity, which are required to determine the rate of flow, or discharge, of the river. The technologist takes these measurements from a bridge, by wading in a stream, by boat, or using a cableway and cable car suspended across a river. Technologists should be comfortable working in and around fast moving water, working in adverse weather conditions in both winter and summer and moving equipment such as small outboard engines and boats over uneven terrain.Once a relationship between water level and flow (discharge) has been established, flow data are routinely estimated from the recorded water level data. In the office, the technologist reviews and finalizes the data under a rigorous quality management process. The data are stored in the national database and disseminated to users via the web.There are approximately 2500 active hydrometric stations, all recording data on site. Nearly two thousands of these stations transmit data to users, via the web, in near real time, using either satellite or telephone communications systems.Work environmentBackground:The Water Survey of Canada (WSC), part of the Meteorological Service of Canada, is the national agency responsible for the collection, interpretation and dissemination of standardized water resource data and information in Canada. The WSC can trace its beginnings to 1908 when Canada initiated a formal approach to determine the extent of the nation #39;s water resources. As an emerging nation, Canada recognized the need for comprehensive water resource information to define reliable supplies of good quality water, to determine hydro power potential, to assess irrigation potential and to protect Canada #39;s sovereignty over its water resources. All major water supply systems, hydro electrical generation facilities and irrigation projects in Canada have been designed, built and operated using the data products and services of the Water Survey of Canada. Today, the Water Survey of Canada continues as the lead agency for collecting and disseminating relevant and reliable water resource information in Canada. The WSC continues to play a major role in the activities of numerous international and interprovincial boards and commissions involved in the management of Canada #39;s water resources. It is the designated agency responsible for water resource monitoring in support of inter-jurisdictional agreements and treaties. The WSC #39;s reputation for excellence is recognized internationally, and our agency continues to set the standard for environmental monitoring.The Water Survey of Canada has built its reputation through a cooperative approach with all levels of governments and business sectors. Earlier ad-hoc arrangements with the provinces were replaced in 1975 with comprehensive and national partnership agreements. These agreements continue to this day and underpin the National Hydrometric Program (NHP).Intent of the processA pool of qualified candidates may be established and may be used to fill current and future vacancies of various tenures at the above noted work locations.Positions to be filled: Number to be determinedInformation you must provideYour résumé.In order to be considered, your application must clearly explain how you meet the following (essential qualifications)
