NY1737767 ENTRY-LEVEL ENGINEERING/DESIGN TECHNICIAN in Gloversville or Cobleskill. Looking for a Career, Not Just a Job? Lamont Engineers is looking for a motivated, curious, and hardworking individual who wants to learn and build a career in the civil engineering field. You do not need an engineering degree or previous engineering experience. We are willing to train the right person. We are looking for someone who enjoys figuring out how things work, solving problems, working with computers and technology, and occasionally getting out of the office to see projects being built. What You Could Learn Working alongside our engineers, designers, and project managers, you may learn to: - Prepare and revise engineering and construction drawings. - Use AutoCAD and other engineering/design software. - Assist with field measurements, surveys, and site investigations. - Help inspect construction projects. - Perform basic engineering calculations. - Work with maps, plans, specifications, and technical information. - Assist with water, wastewater, site development, building, and municipal infrastructure projects. - Work with contractors, municipalities, and other professionals. - Understand how a project goes from an idea to design and ultimately construction. Who We Are Looking For Experience is less important to us than your attitude and willingness to learn. A strong candidate will: - Show up on time and be dependable. - Work hard and take pride in doing things correctly. - Be curious and willing to ask questions. - Be comfortable learning new computer programs and technology. - Have good basic math and problem-solving skills. - Pay attention to details. - Be willing to work both independently and as part of a team. - Accept feedback and learn from mistakes. - Take initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do. - Have a valid driver's license and be willing to occasionally work in the field. A high school diploma or equivalent is expected. Technical education, drafting, construction experience, college coursework, or familiarity with AutoCAD is helpful, but not required. What We Offer - Starting wage of $20.00/hour. - On-the-job training. - Opportunity to learn directly from experienced engineers and technical staff. - Exposure to real engineering and construction projects. - Opportunity to develop valuable technical and computer skills. - Potential for increasing responsibility and advancement as your skills develop. - A potential long-term career path in civil engineering, design, construction, and infrastructure. - A generous benefit package that includes PLT, Health Insurance, 401K or Roth IRA plans.
