Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Geophysics, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Materials Engineering.
  • 1+ year of NDE/NDT and/or engineering geophysics experience; 2+ years strongly preferred.
  • Strong data collection, analysis, technical writing, and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability and willingness to travel extensively, including occasional national and international travel.
  • Comfortable performing fieldwork in difficult conditions and working at heights.
  • Ability to repeatedly lift up to 70 lbs.
  • Clean driving record and ability to meet client site requirements, including drug testing when required.
