Contract Field Technician

Steady, recurring soil sampling work in your region.

If you already sample soil for a living, or want to, this is a long-term working relationship, not a one-off gig. You’ll take on a regular part-time schedule of jobs across your service area, working directly with the EarthOptics team.

Your Role in the Field

  • Collect soil samples on farms, ranches, and timberlands.
  • Follow clear scanning and sampling protocols.
  • Ship samples to labs and invoice EarthOptics directly
  • Work a recurring schedule of jobs in your region, not single-day assignments.

Benefits include:

  • Consistent, recurring work instead of one-off jobs

  • Choose your service radius and project type: agronomy, climate, rangeland.

  • Quick payment for completed sampling work

  • Training and clearly written SOPs/protocols included

  • A long-term working relationship with the EarthOptics team

Earning Potential

Typical projects range from 200 to 800 acres per day, depending on scope, terrain, and sampling protocol. Estimated pay is $1-$5 per acre.

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

  • Soil sampling experience

  • Your own sampling equipment

  • Access to a SxS or UTV

  • General liability coverage (or willingness to purchase)

  • Valid U.S. work eligibility and a driver’s license

  • Dependable, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently

Become part of one of the fastest-growing soil data companies in the country.
