In this role, you will be involved in the layout of borings and test pits using both conventional surveying and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Your responsibilities will include observing and classifying test pits and soils, performing hand auger borings, conducting DCP testing, and logging soil samples. You will also have office responsibilities that involve classifying samples obtained from drilling operations and reducing GPS and other geotechnical data for production. Additionally, you may be required to perform department administrative duties and may work in the construction materials testing department. Your work will primarily take place on active construction sites, where you will conduct field observations, testing, sampling, and inspection of soil, aggregates, concrete, grout, masonry, asphalt, and structural steel placement. Note that not all disciplines may be encountered on every project. Under the guidance of staff professionals and project managers, you will perform routine field and/or laboratory tests and assist in more complex tasks as needed. Daily communication with site contractors, other technicians, and project managers is essential. ECS will provide training in our methodology for performing observations, inspections, and testing of building/construction projects, as well as documenting findings according to accepted engineering practices. A sound understanding of construction practices is expected. As you gain experience, ECS will support your development through internal and external training programs for certification by various organizations.
