Job Description
Terracon is embarking on an exciting new program to develop and grow our Exploration Team Members. We have created a partnership to offer a DOL-approved apprenticeship program as a Construction Craft Laborer. In this role, you will be on sites, working and observing under an approved and trained mentor or journeyworker. We will provide a documented training program to ensure you learn all aspects of the role and set you up to grow in your career as an experienced Exploration Team Member (ETM), potentially leading your own crew in time.
This is a traveling position. You will be assigned to a home location, where your initial training will begin, with locations to be determined. Once trained, you will be active in work at your home office and deployed as needed across the US, learning new skills, meeting other ETMs, and experiencing diverse projects.
All this while being an employee-owner at Terracon, where our commitment to safety is second to none, and we value each person we contact—employees, clients, and communities.
This is an entry-level position. No experience is required.
As you progress towards becoming an ETM, you will perform subsurface exploration duties using techniques such as conventional drilling or in-situ testing, including auger drilling, mud rotary, air rotary, diamond core, cone penetration testing (CPT), pressure meter, and rock dilatometer testing. You may also install instrumentation like piezometers, monitor wells, and inclinometers. The role includes installation of steel test piles for solar project design. You will work as part of a team on various projects, performing tasks such as surveying, site reconnaissance, sample classification, equipment maintenance, and paperwork.

Qualifications

* Ability to obtain a DOT Medical Card within 30 days of employment.
This role requires outdoor work in varying weather, lifting a minimum of 50 pounds, and performing physical activities such as standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, and climbing.
