Definition
在岗 is a verb-object compound meaning 'to be on duty' or 'to be at one's work post'. Since it's a 离合词 (separable verb), you can insert duration, frequency, or other elements between 在 and 岗 — for example, 在了一天的岗 ('was on duty for a whole day'). The object is the post itself, so you don't directly add a noun after 在岗; if you need to specify the location, use 在…岗位 or 在…上班.
v.o.
to be on dutyto be at one's post
