This position has no supervisory responsibilities.

The Assistant Layout Superintendent works in a dynamic, field‑driven construction environment that blends outdoor jobsite activities with office‑based coordination and digital modeling. This role requires frequent presence on active construction sites, where the individual uses GPS, robotic total stations, and optical leveling equipment to perform precise layout and verification tasks for civil and structural elements. At the same time, the position involves significant collaboration with project superintendents, engineers, architects, and surveyors, often requiring the use of BIM platforms such as Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD Civil 3D to interpret and generate layout data.

The work environment is fast‑paced and detail‑oriented, demanding strong problem‑solving skills, adaptability, and the ability to maintain accuracy under pressure. Regular travel between job sites is common, and the role requires balancing hands‑on fieldwork with technical drafting, data management, and communication responsibilities to ensure projects are completed efficiently, safely, and within established quality and budget standards.

The Assistant Layout Superintendent must be able to perform a range of physical activities in both outdoor construction environments and indoor office settings. The position involves frequent standing, walking, and traversing uneven or rough terrain on active job sites, as well as the ability to climb ladders, work at varying heights, and navigate around heavy equipment and ongoing construction operations. The individual must be capable of lifting and carrying surveying equipment, tools, and materials (often weighing up to 50 pounds) and performing repetitive motions such as bending, kneeling, crouching, and reaching.
