Job description

TriMedia Environmental & Engineering Services, LLC is seeking a Survey Technician/Field Surveyor for a long-term project assignment in the Duluth, MN/Superior, WI area. Candidates throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the greater Midwest who are open to project-based travel are encouraged to apply.

This position is expected to begin with a dedicated field assignment in the Duluth, MN/Superior, WI area, anticipated to last up to approximately 18 months, with the possibility of extension based on project needs. This near-term assignment offers the benefit of working from a consistent project location while performing hands-on field surveying, collecting accurate project data, operating specialized equipment, and helping safely locate and document underground utilities.

Candidates should also understand that this is not expected to be a permanent fixed-location assignment; after the Duluth/Superior project, future work will likely involve travel to support pipeline, electrical utility, construction, and infrastructure projects throughout the Midwest region.

We are looking for someone with direct surveying experience who is comfortable working outdoors, traveling for project assignments, and learning additional utility-locating and field-data technologies.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• At least 1 year of hands-on surveying experience
• Experience using GPS/GNSS, total stations, or other surveying equipment preferred
• Experience with construction staking, field layout, as-built surveys, or similar field surveying work preferred

• Degree or technical training in Surveying Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, GIS, Geomatics, Construction Technology, or a related field is preferred
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record
• Ability to safely lift and carry up to 50 pounds
• Ability to work outdoors in changing weather, terrain, and job-site conditions
• Ability and willingness to travel for future project assignments, primarily throughout the Midwest region, following the initial Duluth/Superior assignment
• Strong attention to detail, communication, and commitment to safety
• Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

• $25.00–$35.00 per hour, based on experience and qualifications
• Paid time off and company-recognized holidays
• Medical, life, disability, and supplemental insurance
• Retirement plan with company match
• Corporate wellness program
• Educational assistance and professional-development assistance
• Opportunities for advancement and technical growth

TRAVEL BENEFITS:

For qualifying project assignments, TriMedia provides:

• Per diem for assignments more than 65 miles from home
• Company vehicle for project-related travel
• Paid travel time in most situations
• Additional lodging reimbursement may be available when costs exceed standard GSA rates
• Opportunities to return home between workweeks depending on project schedule and distance

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform construction staking, field layout, and as-built surveys
• Collect accurate field data using GPS/GNSS and surveying instruments
• Locate underground utilities using electronic locating equipment
• Operate and maintain survey, locating, and field-data equipment
• Review completed fieldwork for accuracy and quality
