12N Horizontal Construction Engineers

Army National Guard
Yakima, WA, USA
Full-time

Job Description

Before a road, airfield, or a building can be constructed, all obstacles must be removed from the site. As a Horizontal Construction Engineer in the Army National Guard, you’ll handle the heavy lifting to help your crew succeed.

You’ll operate bulldozers, roadgraders, and other massive equipment to clear the way for construction.

Your responsibilities will include leveling earth for runways and roadbeds, clearing, excavating, and digging areas of construction sites, spreading fill material, transporting heavy construction equipment with a tractor-trailer, moving heavy building materials with cranes, and assisting in performance of combat engineer missions.

Job Duties

  • Analyze the information on grade stakes and placing them
  • Cut and spread fill material with scraper

Some of the Skills You’ll Learn

  • Maintenance and repair of equipment
  • Identification of soil types and placement of grade stakes

Helpful Skills

Preference for working outdoors

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career in basic construction methods and engineering principles, particularly as they pertain to operating heavy construction equipment.

Plus, you may earn specialized certifications that enable you to step right into a civilian construction career.

Earn While You Learn

Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

Job training for Horizontal Construction Engineers consists of nine weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and nine weeks of Advanced Individual Training.
