  • Lifting, carrying, and moving field equipment and materials up to 50 lbs.
  • Standing, walking, climbing, bending, and kneeling for extended periods.

Qualifications
Preferred

  • Experience logging soil borings and rock core.
  • Experience working around geotechnical drill rigs.
  • Knowledge of soil and rock classification systems.

Required

  • Ability to travel extensively and work extended hours. (Staying out of town required)
  • Ability to pass pre-employment and client-required drug screening and background checks.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate field records.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience.
  • Overtime paid for all hours worked above 40 per week.
  • Company-paid travel expenses and per diem (if applicable).
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • Opportunities for advancement and professional development.

Who Succeeds in This Role?
  • Prefers working outdoors over sitting behind a desk.

  • Comfortable working long days when projects require it.
  • Takes pride in accurate field observations and documentation.
