About AID

AID is a growing yet established consulting firm located in central New Jersey, offering professional services in non‑destructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE) of highway infrastructure (bridges and pavements), pavement evaluation and design, geotechnical design and subsurface investigation, subsurface and utility mapping, and forensic studies. AID owns and operates an array of NDT equipment, including a Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS), Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), various air‑launched and ground‑coupled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas, and many others such as a high‑speed profiler and walking profilers. In addition, AID runs its own soils, asphalt, and concrete materials testing laboratory.

Job Description

This full time Field Engineering Assistant position will primarily involve geophysical/electronic location and designation of subsurface utilities using surface geophysical equipment, including RF Pipe and Cable Locators, Ground Penetrating Radar, electromagnetic induction devices, record research, and documenting the work through the preparation of sketches, spreadsheets, and written reports.

The ideal candidate should be prepared to work in the field, performing both utility mark out (locating, subsurface utility evaluation) and geophysical surveying activities. This position also entails office work, including, but not limited to, assisting with proposal and invoice preparation, using geophysical equipment software to interpret field data, and providing written reports with findings as well as presenting findings on CAD maps/plans. The candidate will perform this work mostly under the supervision of a senior engineer. The potential candidate must be open to work during day/night shifts and occasionally on the weekends. He/she will also be expected to assist in other areas of work, as needs dictate. Working in other NDT areas might be expected.
