Format: In-person
My experience
Overview
Basic lab tests (pH, conductivity, turbidity, etc) of water samples, driving around the city to collect samples, and some interesting but monotonous bacteria testing. Occasionally got the chance to observe ICP-MS, GC-MS use.
It's not all bad, and the other staff are friendly. However, there's no opportunity to expand the role to do more and the work is very basic. I It gets tiring and it's not a great learning opportunity.
Would recommend it to people who...
Are nervous about starting in the workforce and want something easy and repetitive.
