Company Info

The success Manatts, Inc., enjoys today in the construction industry started more than 60 years ago. Back then, it was one man, one truck, and now our team of employees numbers more than 700 strong. We have dozens of ready-mix and asphalt production facilities around the state of Iowa. Our massive fleet of dump and ready-mix trucks serves thousands of job sites every year. In addition, our concrete and asphalt paving divisions, along with our various other crews, complete hundreds of projects every season.

Job Description

Our PCC Paving Division has an opening for the 2019 construction season for a 3D Machine Control Technician. Before stringless paving was invented, pavers and trimmers were guided by setting a stringline up for line and grade. Today, we use GPS or Robotic Total Stations to guide our trimmers, pavers, belt placers, dozers, motor graders, and milling machines. A 3D Machine Control Technician is in charge of the technology that guides our construction equipment. Most of the Technician’s time will be spent working with the paving crew using robotic total stations, radios, computers, and a rover to help guide the equipment. This involves loading the computers with the files (3D models, by others), managing files, re-secting the total stations, and operating the stringless computer.  Responsibilities will also include taking care of the survey equipment, shooting topos, setting stakes, checking control, and possibly working on some equipment. The Technician will be involved with performing GPS Site Localizations/Calibrations on projects to guide our dozers and motor graders. This is a full-time seasonal position that requires travel during the construction season.
