Duties

The Job :

The success of the Water Survey of Canada has always been dependent on its technical work force of over 200 hydrometric technologists. 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, or "data logger". 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 environment

Background :

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'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'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's water resources. It is the designated agency responsible for water resource monitoring in support of inter-jurisdictional agreements and treaties. The WSC'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).

    CHALLENGE

    Training :

    A career in the Water Survey of Canada offers you the chance to work in a challenging and stimulating environment. Newly hired hydrometric technicians start their career in a development program that progresses towards a permanent position as hydrometric technologists with full operational and technical responsibilities.

    The Apprenticeship or Professional Training Program (APTP) is a training and development program. When enrolled in the program, new recruits progress from the entry level (EG-03) to the working level (EG-05) in about 3 ½ years if they achieve competency at each level.

    One of the conditions of employment is that the training program be successfully completed by the recruit within required timeframes and to the minimum acceptable performance levels. APTP participants will be full-time employees but they will be on probation until successful completion of the APTP program. There are increased expectations and responsibilities for the trainees as their technical ability and knowledge increase.

    Salary : 1) EG-03 : $57,924

  • to $70,474 (18 months)
  • 2) EG-04 : $63,720

  • to $77,523 (24 months)
  • 3) EG-05 : $70,088

  • to $85,272 (operational level)
  • initial salary is minimum, but annual increments are given until maximum pay is reached
  • salary is under review
  • Upon graduation from the APTP, participants are appointed to a position at the EG-05 level. Graduates are considered ready for full operational and technical responsibilities, with minimum supervision.

    Mobility :

    Mobility is a condition of employment. Although technologists may stay in one office or region throughout their career, on occasion, postings outside the region of recruitment may be necessary for the recruit to acquire a particular skill or experience. The MSC reserves the right to apply the mobility requirement to all technologists at the entry, intermediate and working levels to meet the needs of the organization and to facilitate well-rounded training (i.e. provide exposure to varied instruments and systems, etc).

    If you are looking for an exciting, challenging and interesting career, which involves both field work and office work, if you can work independently and in a team environment, and if hands-on problemsolving, initiative and adaptability are terms that describe you, an exciting career as a Hydrometric Technologist at Environment Canada awaits you!
