Title: GPS/GIS Field Technician

Reports to: Regional Field Supervisor

Location: Riverdale, Decatur, and Midtown, GA Areas

Salary Range: $22 – $24/hr

This temporary part‑time or full‑time position involves completing utility pipeline projects as part of a larger team. The role will run throughout the 2026 calendar year. Selected candidates will receive training near the project site and will then work independently or in a team to collect field data across multiple sites in Riverdale and surrounding Georgia areas. Working hours typically average 40 hours per week, with flexible scheduling, accrued PTO, or unpaid time when the construction schedule does not meet a full week.

Overtime may be available based on client needs and supervisor approval. A company vehicle will not be provided.

Under direction, the technician reports to the project location as defined by the team lead and begins capturing, documenting, and overseeing daily construction activities.
