About the role

Join Parsons and contribute to making the world a safer place through your expertise in unexploded ordnance (UXO). This role involves reconnaissance, classification, and removal of UXO from affected communities as part of our Federal Solutions team, supporting U.S. government missions globally.

Responsibilities

• Perform duties of a UXO Technician II as outlined in DDESB TP 18, including meeting criteria for and performing functions of a UXO-TI.
• Store explosive materials in compliance with applicable guidance, including preparing on-site holding areas for temporary storage and securing of MEC, MPPEH, and other explosives (e.g., donor charges).
• Determine and record the location of subsurface anomalies, surface MEC, and other material of interest using techniques such as global positioning equipment and land navigation in field environments.
• Perform field collection and testing procedures to identify explosives-contaminated media or material (e.g., equipment used for load-assemble-pack of military munitions).
