Job description

TriMedia Environmental & Engineering Services, LLC is seeking a 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.

• 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

• 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
