- Strong communication with the Project Manager is essential to ensure the project is completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with the project requirements.
- Perform laboratory testing, safely transport soil samples between the Milwaukee and Chicago offices, and maintain clean, organized, and well-maintained equipment and vehicles to support efficient field operations.
- Take on progressively greater levels of training, responsibility, and independence as you develop your skills and experience in the field.
- Follow all safety rules, practices, and project-specific requirements. Complete thorough pre-task planning before beginning work to identify potential hazards and ensure work is performed safely and efficiently.
