HOURLY RATE: $35.65 TYPICAL WORK SCHEDULE: Monday - Friday, 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM JOB DESCRIPTION: This is a full-time field position that requires the individual to work in areas considered hazardous, both on land and aboard ships, during active production hours where welding, grinding, blasting, and other work are being performed, regardless of weather conditions. This role directly supports live production and installation activities where delays, errors, or misalignment can impact multiple trades simultaneously. The Survey / Metrology Technician will be responsible for gathering data using various equipment, including total stations, 3D scanners, laser trackers, and similar tools, to support multiple crafts. Tasks range from setting modules or equipment, checking flatness and creating deviation reports, to performing general scans of areas for reference and other related work. This position may require facilitating and directing others to accomplish the task at hand. For example, when setting a module-or even a simple piece of equipment-the entire craft, along with supporting crafts, may be standing by and waiting for your direction on placement and the precise adjustments needed to achieve the correct position. This often results in continuous work that can extend past your scheduled shift and into overtime. The majority of the work will take place at the Portland Vigor Shipyard; however, travel is an expected part of the role and can vary in frequency. This may range from a few times per week to only a few times over several months. Most travel will be within a few hundred miles, but there may be occasions where nationwide travel is required.
