REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Digital Operations Tech
A work placement position with Oceans Learning Partnership (OLP)

OLP has an exciting work placement and CV-enhancing opportunity for the right person. You’ll be joining a friendly, fast-paced and innovative network of people and organizations all working together to bring ocean sciences to young people and their teachers in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our network of collaborators extends to people and organizations in NL, Coastal Labrador, Nunavut, the Gulf of Maine, and beyond.

We are a geographically dispersed network so we have adopted a variety of digital tools in the past five years to facilitate working remotely: Zoom for remote meetings, Asana for project management, Slack for team communications, Google Drive for document management and other Google tools

What we do
We’re all about experiential learning. Inspiring young people about the ocean that’s at our doorstep. We get students out to their local beach to do shoreline surveys. Actually, to be exact, we train their teachers to do that. And they take their students out to do fieldwork. Check out our website at www.oceanslearning.net and our collaboration platform at https://wearecoastal.next.fieldscope.org.


   

We’re experimenting with using underwater drones and aerial drones for our educational programming and training teachers to use the tools for fieldwork with their students. We’re also relaunching our proprietary iPad data collection app. And we’re dabbling in 3D VR tools and platforms for remote learning.

We need someone to support our team and assist with our digital operations.

Are you that person?
Check out what you’ll be doing and what we expect you to bring to the job on the next page.
 
The Basics
Here’s the basic information you need.

? This is a 16-week position. You start May 10, 2021 and go to August 27. If everything works out; if you’re happy, and we’re happy, there’s a good chance the job will renew.
? Hourly pay is $16.49/hr; that’s the federal government rate (Step 1) for undergrads.
? Apply before 5 pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. Later entries will not be accepted.
? Work hours: 35hrs a week, Monday to Friday, with half-hour lunches, but if you’re the kind of person who clocks out on the nose at lunch time or at the end of the day, we’ve probably not a good fit for you.
? Work location: remote work mostly, but we do provide office space; local field work and travel will be required occasionally. And of course we adhere to COVID-19 workplace guidelines.
? Eligibility: you have to be enrolled (full or part time) in a Canadian accredited post-secondary institution, college or university program related to technology and/or science. And you must be legally entitled to work in Canada (i.e., a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act).

What you’ll do
In a word, you’ll take care of all things digital under the supervision of our network director.

? Manage all of our digital tools to ensure optimum efficiency in our work processes and team communication, including Zoom, Asana, Slack, and full suite of Google tools;
? Manage the set-up of all our Zoom meetings and provide orientation to the platform when necessary for new users;
? Do background research on new digital tools and equipment as required and assist the network director in purchase decisions;
? Liaise with our senior program manager on maintenance of our data collection app and digital collaboration site on the citizen science platform (FieldScope);
? Operate or train operators in the use of underwater and aerial drones, or other digital equipment, for our educational work in the field;
? Manage as required the VR tours of our partner sites and the host platform (Matterport);
? Provide technical assistance and support to our production team in any livestreaming events produced by OLP.

What you’ll bring
You bring a definite can-do mindset: you’re a proactive, problem-solving, up-for-any-challenge self- starter. You’re stimulated by technical problems that need solving. You take initiative and don’t sit back waiting for someone else to start the engine.  If you think you fit that profile, and you’ve got the right set of skills for the job, and the right mindset, just send us a message telling us you’re interested.  Tell  us what you’ve done. Why you’re interested in this position. And importantly, what you have to offer. Be specific! No gobbledygook please!

PS: You may be technically oriented, but we also need someone who’s good around people, and can write. So include that in your reply as well. If you have a background in data science, that’s a plus.

Email your profile, CV and any relevant volunteer work to:
Gillian Davidge, Senior Program Manager, at gilliand@oceanslearning.net.
