Field Technician II

Build What Matters. Learn Valuable Skills. Grow Your Career.

UES is seeking a Field Technician II to support construction materials testing, inspection, geotechnical, and engineering projects that help build the roads, schools, hospitals, bridges, and commercial developments our communities rely on every day. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy hands-on work, solving problems in the field, working outdoors, and being part of projects they can point to and say, "I helped build that."

As a Field Technician II, you'll work alongside engineers, project managers, contractors, and fellow technicians to perform testing and inspections that ensure construction projects meet safety, quality, and regulatory requirements. This is more than a testing role.

• Conduct construction inspections and quality assurance activities on active job sites
• Document test results and prepare detailed project reports
• Work directly with contractors, engineers, and project teams to support project success
• Ensure testing and inspections are performed in accordance with industry standards and project specifications
• Operate testing equipment and maintain accurate project documentation
• Identify and communicate quality or safety concerns in the field
• Support a strong culture of safety on every project
• Assist with training and mentoring newer technicians as experience grows

What We're Looking For

• Experience in construction materials testing, inspections, construction, engineering, environmental services, or related industries
• Strong work ethic and commitment to safety
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Effective communication and organizational skills
• Desire to learn, grow, and advance within the construction and engineering industry

Why Join UES?

• Clear career progression from Field Technician to Lead Technician, Field Supervisor, Project Manager, and beyond
• Paid training, certifications, and professional development opportunities
• Exposure to a wide variety of construction and infrastructure projects
• Opportunity to work with experienced engineers and industry professionals
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• National resources with a local team environment
• The chance to make a visible impact on projects that shape communities
