Traveling Field Technician, Leak Survey
Job Description
Since 1933, Heath Consultants has been the trusted leader in natural gas leak detection and safety services — protecting communities, utilities, and the environment across the country. We are a family-owned company with a nationwide field presence and a deep commitment to the people who do this critical work every day.
Your RV Is Your Advantage.
Heath Consultants is actively recruiting full-time traveling technicians who live and travel in their RVs( 80% travel required). We provide an RV site stipend, travel pay between assignments, and steady field work — so you can keep moving while building a real career in natural gas safety.
The Opportunity: Built for the RV Lifestyle
This is not your average field technician role. As a Traveling Leak Survey Technician, you will rotate across assigned territories — inspecting natural gas distribution systems, detecting leaks with advanced equipment, and ensuring the communities we serve are safe. We designed this position with the full-time RVer in mind:
- Monthly RV site stipend to offset campground costs
- Monday–Friday schedule with predictable hours
- Travel pay while driving between assignments
- No cold winters or hot summers stuck in one place
- New territories mean new scenery — always moving
- Steady income without being desk-bound
What You'll Do
Protect Communities
- Inspect natural gas distribution systems across assigned territories
- Conduct leak surveys using industry-leading gas detection technology
- Accurately document findings and complete compliance reports
- Follow strict safety protocols and federal/local regulations
- Communicate professionally with homeowners and members of the public
Your daily work helps prevent hazardous situations and keeps the communities you visit safe — wherever the road takes you.
Work Outdoors & Stay Active
This role is made for people who thrive outside. You will:
- Walk approximately 4–7 miles per day
- Work in varied terrain and weather conditions
- Bend, kneel, and lift up to 25 pounds
