Job Description

APTech has an immediate opening for a hard-working, well-organized Engineering Technician to assist with field data collection activities as part of the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT’s) statewide pavement testing program. The successful applicant will work out of IDOT facilities in Springfield and will be part of a team of skilled technicians responsible for conducting pavement testing on roadways throughout the State of Illinois.

The Engineering Technician position will require travel and field work throughout the State, as well as office/shop work in Springfield. The field work consists of driving the test equipment to various roadway locations and conducting the required tests as part of a two-person crew. It may also involve supporting pavement testing activities at the Illinois Certification and Research Track (ICART) in southern Illinois and performing maintenance at that facility. The office/shop work entails activities such as maintaining and servicing the test equipment (and host vehicles), preparing job maps, processing and managing collected test data, using software programs in support of IDOT projects, and cleaning and maintaining shop facilities.
