The Field Engineer (FE) works directly for the Superintendent and is expected to exercise judgment and discretion in making recommendations, implementing policies and procedures, and handling a wide variety of matters in the field.

The primary purpose of the position is to proactively aid the Superintendent in front‑line field management.

The FE is responsible for the majority of the layout on a project, supervision of trade workers and subcontractor employees, lift drawings, safety, and quality control responsibilities. Although the majority of a Field Engineer’s time will be spent in the field, some duties will require work in the field office. This is a safety‑sensitive position.

• Valid Driver’s License.
• Strong communication skills.
• Computer software – Microsoft Office Suite (specifically Excel‑based templates), Project Sight, Primavera and Auto Desk Suite.

• Project layout (surveying) in conformance with design and contract documents.
• Check concrete forms for accuracy and adequacy of construction, including all embedded items, before placement of concrete.
