What are the roles & responsibilities of a field assistant?

Our Field Assistants take care of the practical elements, so your team can focus on project outcomes. Their key responsibilities include.

Sample Collection, Quality Control & Handling

Field Assistants are responsible for collecting a range of samples, including soil, rock, water, and core samples, during field operations. They ensure all samples are accurately labelled, documented, and securely transported for analysis. Attention to detail is essential to maintain the integrity of the samples and support accurate reporting.

Accurate data management is a core part of the role. Field Assistants record measurements, field observations, and other critical data with precision. They are also tasked with compiling reports and maintaining clear and detailed field notes, ensuring project teams have access to reliable and up-to-date information.

Site Preparation & Rehabilitation

Field Assistants help prepare work areas by clearing sites, setting up infrastructure, and ensuring all necessary tools and equipment are in place. Post-activity, they assist with site rehabilitation in line with environmental regulations, leaving field locations in a clean and compliant state.

Safety is central to fieldwork, and Field Assistants strictly adhere to health and safety protocols to maintain a secure working environment. They actively participate in safety briefings, identify and report hazards, and follow all site-specific compliance requirements.

Providing logistical support is a vital aspect of the role. Field Assistants assist with the transport of tools, equipment, and supplies to remote sites, ensuring teams remain well-prepared. They also manage inventory, monitor stock levels, and help coordinate the smooth mobilisation and demobilisation of field activities.

Team Collaboration

Field Assistants work closely with geologists, surveyors, and other field personnel to ensure projects meet timelines and objectives. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as Field Assistants play a key role in keeping field operations cohesive and productive.
