Careers @ IMS
Driver / Field Technician
Would you like to drive a laser-equipped van throughout North America to assess roads for cracks, distresses, and other road-related issues? We are looking for energetic and adventurous technicians to work with us as we partner with cities and counties in the US and Canada.
We offer health/dental benefits, plenty of overtime, growth opportunities, and covered life expenses. We’re looking for someone who is ready to hit the road to help us continue serving our clients in North America by operating one of our specialized pieces of equipment - a modified Ford E-350 van equipped with lasers, accelerometers, and other technology. You would be joining a crew of 3 as a driver, but with opportunities to gain skills and rise in the ranks.
If you are self-motivated individual, who works well with others and is interested in developing a new career that offers growth, independence, and travel, then this position is for you.
When we say “traveling”, we mean it. THIS IS A 100% TRAVEL POSITION. The selected candidate will be traveling for three months at a time, followed by one week off and then back to a three month rotation. Travel will be across the United States and, eventually, Canada.
The Position
Working as part of a three person team, the Driver / Operator is responsible for driving a specialized survey vehicle on projects across the United States. The field crew consists of three people - the driver, a field technician and a crew chief. The driver/operator is responsible for driving and daily maintenance of the van. Advancement is through experience gained on the job.
You would be part of a crew of operators who spend 2-6 weeks in a city or county collecting data. You would have your own extended-stay hotel room and a pay structure that targets $50,000+ for annual compensation without having to pay for life expenses.
The Company
IMS is a consulting engineering firm with offices in Arizona and Illinois. Working for cities and counties across the United States and Canada, IMS collects pavement and sidewalk condition and right of way asset information utilizing specialized vehicles. The information is then used by the agency to create long term rehabilitation plans and budgets.
Compensation
We will target a $50,000+ annualized salary (equivalent to $22/hr) for your first year on the job. Here’s how you would earn that:
Wage @ 40 hours a week: $15.00/hr
Overtime Wage @ 10+ hours a week: $22.50/hr
Per Diem in Cash: $35/day
On top of that:
50% of health + dental insurance paid
100% of life insurance premiums paid
3% matching of retirement savings after year 1
Free hotel lodging
Also, we pay to fly you home after a 3-month stint for a week off, have 2 weeks of PTO earned each year, and give you holidays off (including a week off for Christmas/New Years).
Compensation increases as you gain experience, add to your skill sets, and grow in your responsibilities.
Position Requirements
A clean driving record with no DUI’s or license suspensions is a must.
This is a 100% travel position. All field employees travel throughout the United States for extended periods of time with scheduled days off depending on the workload. The crews stay in hotels paid for by the company. Each person has their own room.
Education and Experience
No direct experience is required, as IMS will provide on the job training - if you bring the right attitude, we will provide the technical training to make a successful career. The ideal candidate will bring to IMS the willingness to learn with a keen orientation to detail and quality of work.
- High School Diploma
