of air quality services — including fixed and portable air quality monitoring systems, equipment

rentals/sales, and regulatory sampling programs.

Key Responsibilities:

❖ Technical Leadership

o Develop and implement air monitoring strategies and protocols using isokinetic samplers,

high-volume samplers, portable monitors, and (eventually) AQMS.

o Lead selection, setup, and calibration of air monitoring instruments (particulate matter,

gases, meteorological sensors, etc.).

o Establish SOPs, QA/QC procedures, and data validation workflows for both field and lab

operations.

o Guide integration of real-time monitoring data into lab systems or client dashboards.

o Ensure compliance with   relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., EPA, WHO, local

environmental authorities).

❖ Operational Setup

o Design and implement operational processes for sampling,

analysis, reporting, and data management.

o Coordinate installation and maintenance of AQMS stations and portable devices.

o Manage inventory, calibration schedules, and maintenance of air monitoring equipment.

o Collaborate with laboratory staff to ensure seamless handover and analysis of collected

samples.

❖ Commercial/ Business Development

o Develop service offerings for clients: ambient air monitoring, emissions monitoring, indoor

air quality, and equipment sales/rentals.

o Identify and pursue new market opportunities (government tenders, industries, developers,

health institutions, etc.).

o Engage with suppliers and partners for AQMS systems and air monitoring devices.

o Lead pricing strategy, client proposals, and contract negotiations.

o Monitor profitability, KPIs, and department performance metrics.

❖ Team Building & Leadership

o Define staffing needs and help recruit field technicians, analysts, and support staff.

o Train and mentor team members in air monitoring practices, safety, and compliance.

o Foster a high-performance, safety-conscious, and client-focused culture.

Qualifications:

❖ Education

o Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Atmospheric Science, Chemistry, Engineering,

or related field.

o Advanced degree or business training (MBA, PMP) is a plus.

❖ Experience

o Minimum 5 years of experience in air quality monitoring (field, lab, or equipment sales).

o Experience with AQMS setup and management is a strong advantage.

o Prior experience establishing or growing a technical department or business unit is highly

desirable.

❖ Technical Expertise

o Hands-on knowledge of:

- Isokinetic sampling

- High-volume sampling

- Portable monitoring devices (e.g. PID/NDIR sensors)

- AQMS components (gas analyzers, PM monitors, data loggers, telemetry, etc.)

o Familiar with EPA, ISO, WHO, and local air monitoring standards and methods.

o Experience working with environmental regulatory agencies is preferred.

❖ Business & Leadership

o Strong commercial acumen and experience with budgeting, costing, and sales strategy.
