Tetra Tech Inc. is currently seeking a part-time, temporary UXO Technician I to work for our Helena, MT office on a project in Townsend, MT.

Are you ready to take the next step in your career? Do you want to do meaningful work that improves quality of life? At Tetra Tech, you will work with high-performing teams who are passionate about using their expertise to find solutions to complex problems in water, environment, infrastructure, resource management, energy, and international development.

When directed and supervised by UXOQP, UXO-TIs must be able to:

(a) Investigate for and identify MEC and MPPEH, including explosive residues in media (e.g., soil), buildings, and installed equipment.

(b) Identify different types of military munitions, including identifying whether a military munition's fuze is armed or unarmed.

(c) Excavate subsurface anomalies for identification.

(d) Move (e.g., consolidate) MEC within a munitions response site (MRS) or on an operational range after the UXOSO and SUXOS have jointly evaluated and documented the determination that the risk of movement is acceptable.

(e) Operate vehicles moving explosives or MPPEH on site. Individuals must be appropriately licensed for the class of vehicle being operated.

(f) Transport military munitions, commercial explosives, and MDEH that meets the criteria in Paragraphs 2.2.b.(1)(a) through (e) and has been determined safe for transport over public traffic routes (PTRs). Such munitions and explosives must be packaged in a manner that allows their safe transport and complies with Department of Transportation (DOT) and other applicable federal and State laws and DoD policies. Only UXO determined to be safe for transport by EOD personnel may be transported over a PTR.

(g) Prepare electric and non-electric firing systems.

(h) Set up decontamination stations and decontaminate CA-contaminated personnel, military munitions, and other material of interest (e.g., munitions debris, glass vials) in accordance with approved plans. Performing these functions may require additional training.

(i) Assist UXOQP in documenting the explosives safety status of MPPEH.

(j) Construct engineering controls (protective works).

(k) Escort personnel who are not directly involved in MEC-related activities (e.g., SWs, SP, visitors to cultural sites) on property known or suspected to contain MEC but have an operational requirement and authorization to access such property. Although escort by a UXOTI is typically performed under the supervision of UXOQP, the responsible commander or authority may approve UXO-TI personnel to perform escort duties without supervision. Such approval must be based on an approved risk assessment and implementation of methods to mitigate potential exposures
