- Safely load, operate, and maneuver support vehicles, including trucks and transport vans, to and from project sites
- Conduct routine pre- and post-operation maintenance on robotic platforms, support hardware, sensors, and communication systems.
- Ensure all robotic deployments comply with established operational procedures, inspection protocols, and data quality standards.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work environment, ensuring all equipment and tools are properly secured and accounted for.
- Communicate clearly with the Team Lead and field crew to coordinate equipment setup, troubleshoot in-field issues, and relay operational updates.
- Complete accurate and detailed field documentation, including system checklists, inspection summaries, cleaning records, and daily activity logs.
- Support team operations by taking initiative in problem-solving, assisting with rig-up/rig-down tasks, and adapting to site conditions.
- Uphold safety and environmental protection standards at all times, strictly following lockout/tagout, confined space, and hazard control procedures.

Knowledge, Skills, and abilities:
- Proficient in performing routine maintenance and basic mechanical or electrical repairs on robotic and support systems
- Experienced with hydraulic systems used in robotic deployment and cleaning operations
