Civil Engineering Technician
This position reports to the Supervisory Civil Engineering Technician of the NDCSMC Soil Mechanics Laboratory. As a Civil Engineering Technician, you will receive training on geotechnical engineering laboratory testing to assist the NRCS on site specific Farm Bill and Watershed Projects. These laboratory test results are used for geotechnical analysis and report preparation to support the design of complex NRCS projects. Geotechnical testing with limited supervision will include gradation analysis, Atterberg limits, Standard Proctor density, and fine specific gravity to determine the soil and gravel properties of specific samples submitted to the Soil Mechanics Laboratory. Additional training will be provided on complex engineering property tests including triaxial shear, consolidation, unconfined compressive strength, and permeability. The position will require alertness and caution in the laboratory setting and moderate physical labor.
