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

- 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
