FloodNet is a cooperative of communities, researchers, and New York City government agencies working to better understand the frequency, severity, and impacts of flooding in New York City.
FloodNet is responsible for manufacturing, installing, operating, and maintaining a citywide flood sensor network of 500 sensors across the five boroughs. A core component of FloodNet is to collect flood data that is open-source and freely available to residents, community members, City agencies, and researchers. FloodNet brings together innovative sources of information on street flooding impacts in neighborhoods that are vulnerable to high tides, storm surge, and stormwater runoff. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a large-scale urban IoT project focussed on a major environmental challenge for NYC.
We are seeking a Field Technician to join our team to work on the installation and ongoing maintenance of our flood sensors. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a large-scale urban IoT project focussed on a major environmental challenge for NYC.
