• Assist with enforcement of safety, quality, and compliance standards
• Support change management, as‑built documentation, and project closeout

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
• Entry‑level to early‑career candidates encouraged to apply
• Basic understanding of heavy civil construction methods and materials
• Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, field environment
