This class project will contribute directly to the Powell-Division Transit and Development Project a community-based effort to bring a new regional transit investment to Southeast Portland, East Portland and Gresham that can be built in five to seven years.

Looking to hiring a GPS data collector for a Eugene, Oregon project. It starts immediately and lasts through February with possibly extensions to the current project and a permanent position later this year ( a strong chance).  The pay is $15/hr with normally 32 hours of work a week but that is variable + or - 8 hours a week.  Days off would be Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday but again this is variable. This is a field job and with a lot of autonomy so the candidate must be flexible and able to work on their own.  The candidate has to arrange lodging in the Springfield/Eugene area.
