• Obtain representative samples in line with project specifications.
• Review project plans and specifications to confirm work meets requirements.
• Prepare accurate test reports and a daily diary before leaving the jobsite, and keep clear records of time, supplies, training hours, timecards, and expenses.
• Complete all required safety reporting and keep assigned gear clean, calibrated, and operable.
• Support project teams across Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and surrounding areas, with availability for weekend, early-morning, or late-evening shifts as projects require.
• Communicate professionally and courteously with the public, contractors, and team members, returning calls and emails promptly.

Qualifications

• The physical readiness for field work: lifting up to 100 lbs, repeated bending, twisting and climbing (ladders, scaffolds, and stairs), walking on irregular surfaces, and standing for extended periods.
• Comfort working outdoors in extreme weather and on active construction sites — staying safety-conscious around heavy equipment, vehicles, and materials such as radioactive testing sources, dust, chemicals, and concrete.
• General computer skills (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), basic math and writing skills, and the ability to read and follow procedures (foundational knowledge of construction materials testing is a plus).
• A professional, detail-oriented work ethic, clear verbal and written communication, and flexibility around variable hours.
