Coordinate logistics, materials, and supplies for ongoing research activities.

Research Support & Data Management

Collect, organize, and analyze test data in approved formats.
Assist engineers with experimental plans, schematics, and documentation.
Contribute to high‑quality research outputs, including internal reports and technical notes.

Completion of at least two years of technical training in engineering technician skills, electronics, computer science, or related fields (GT‑RT‑1 requirement).
Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to work with tools and laboratory equipment.
Demonstrated hands‑on experience in a geotechnical laboratory.
Knowledge of standard ASTM/AASHTO soil testing methods.
Ability to lift 50 lbs and be on your feet for up to 8 hours per day.
Strong communication skills and ability to follow detailed technical instructions.
Comfortable working with formulas in spreadsheets

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree within the area of civil engineering or geology.
Experience with large‑scale geotechnical testing (triaxial, direct shear, erosion function apparatus, interface shear).
Familiarity with instrumentation systems and data acquisition hardware.
Experience directing general laborers or assisting engineering staff.
