if you are on the geotech side you will be inspecting. Probably inspecting lifts with a nuc gage. By your description, it sounds like a construction management position. You just need to work at balancing out the machines so idle time is reduced.

If you are building an embankment you will place it in 6 to 12 inch lifts, and compact on every lift. The material being compacted generally needs to be granualar and within a specific moisture. If there is any wood (logs, roots, etc) they need to be removed, as when they rot the soil will settle.
