- Perform extensive field data collection associated with telecommunications attachments to electric distribution infrastructure, focusing on joint use and fiber make-ready programs.
- Work primarily in the field as part of a two-person team, using iPads, GIS/fielding applications, measuring equipment, proprietary software, and specialized tools to document utility poles and associated electric and telecommunications facilities.
- Collect detailed field information including measurements, photographs, equipment details, attachment data, and other information needed to support joint use engineering and make-ready evaluations.
- Ensure all field data is complete, accurate, and clearly documented, and identify unusual conditions or potential make-ready concerns for further engineering review.
- Coordinate engineering and design determinations with designated engineering and design personnel, providing clear and thorough field information to support decisions.
- Travel regularly throughout service territories in Virginia and North Carolina to complete field assignments, including weekly overnight travel when required.
- Operate and responsibly maintain rental vehicles during field assignments, including potential overnight or extended use, while adhering to safety and storage requirements.
- Work safely and effectively in outdoor environments, including varying weather conditions, vegetation, terrain, and roadside locations, while carrying and using required field equipment.
- Learn and use mobile field-data collection applications and other new technologies to improve data collection efficiency and accuracy.

- Experience with CAD software such as Bentley MicroStation or Autodesk tools including AutoCAD and Civil 3D is preferred.
- Knowledge of utility client standards and electric distribution practices is preferred.
- Experience in GIS, utility field work, telecommunications, surveying, construction, inspection, or similar outdoor technical work is beneficial but not required.
- Comfort with learning and using mobile field-data collection applications and new digital tools.
- Interest in developing a career in power delivery, joint use engineering, and electric distribution systems.
- Motivation to take advantage of technical and non-technical training, leadership opportunities, and mentorship to grow professionally.
Work Environment: description about fast-paced, diverse, flexible work hours, approx 90% field-based, two-person teams, outdoors, travel, rental vehicles, office work using GIS/CAD, Microsoft Office, Agile team collaboration, meetings, training, emphasis on safety, collaboration, learning, professional growth, opportunities to move from temporary to permanent based on performance.
Job Type & Location: Contract to Hire position based out of Richmond, VA.
Pay And Benefits: pay range $23.50 - $23.50/hr. Individual compensation ...

Workplace Type: fully onsite position in Richmond,VA.
Application Deadline: Oct 9, 2026.
About Actalent: boilerplate to remove.
EEO etc: remove.
We need to include only sections with real content. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Work Environment? Could be part of About the role or Schedule? But we already have About the role covering some environment. The Work Environment section has extra details about % field-based, two-person teams, travel, office work, safety, etc. That's substantive and not covered elsewhere. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like Work Environment, but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No Work Environment. So we must incorporate that content into existing sections. Could add to About the role or Schedule. The schedule section could include travel, flexible hours, weekly overnight travel. The work environment details about field-based %, two-person teams, outdoor work, office work, safety, etc. Could be part of About the role (which already mentions fast-paced diverse environment, flexible work arrangements, career development). We can expand About the role to include those details. That's okay as long as we preserve all substantive information. We'll incorporate the Work Environment description into About the role.
Similarly, Job Type & Location (Contract to Hire based out of Richmond, VA) could be included in About the role or maybe as a short paragraph. Not a heading. We'll incorporate into About the role.
Application Deadline maybe not needed; it's metadata but could be included in About the role or a short p. The instruction says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Application deadline is minor metadata; we can fold into a short p maybe under About the role or at end. But we could drop it? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Application deadline is substantive? It's a date; maybe considered metadata but still info. We'll include a short p after About the role maybe.
But we must not create extra headings. So we can add a
for metadata like "Application deadline: Oct 9, 2026." or "Position type: Contract to Hire, located in Richmond, VA." We'll incorporate.
Now we need to output HTML fragment.
