  • Ability to navigate active construction environments safely
  • Capable of working independently as well as within small teams
  • Familiarity with mobile applications and digital documentation tools
  • Understanding of safety practices within construction or industrial environments

Essential Core Competencies:
  • Business Development: Demonstrates a growth-oriented mindset and actively builds positive client relationships that support future project opportunities.
  • Technical Accuracy: Maintains a strong focus on delivering precise and reliable subsurface investigation results.
  • Customer Focus: Interacts with clients in a professional, courteous, and solutions-oriented manner.
  • Accountability: Consistently follows company procedures and completes assignments reliably and responsibly.
  • Continuous Improvement: Provides feedback and insights to improve field processes and operational efficiency.
  • Safety Awareness: Proactively identifies hazards and strictly adheres to all safety policies and procedures.
  • Adaptability: Adjusts effectively to varying job environments and client requirements.
