We are adding experienced Field Engineers to our Central division of Kiewit to support our growing Infrastructure project portfolio around the country. We are hiring in our southeastern region to support projects in Tennessee and Kentucky and offer relocation to the region and per diem while on projects outside the immediate area. As a Field Engineer you will play a significant part in planning, organizing, and implementing project engineering & project controls tasks for heavy civil construction projects that could include major highway infrastructure, bridge projects, rail/transit, aviation, water/wastewater, and power.

Excellent communication, attention to detail, and an ability to work well in a team environment are critical. The team is the first to the site, performing site prep for roads, bridges or industrial buildings, including mass grading/excavation, cut/fill, drainage, paving, underground piping, utility work, earthwork, site development, concrete form work, asphalt paving, and related activities.

Our southeast office is located in Brentwood, Tennessee. Individuals work out of this office and travel around the region to support projects in TN, KY, MO, MS and NE, and potentially other surrounding states. Must be willing to relocate and travel. We provide per diem or relocation to the projects, based on duration.

Kiewit’s Central District is one of our largest infrastructure districts specializing in heavy civil, structural concrete/bridge, water/wastewater, and transportation projects. We self-perform work such as mass grading, drainage, paving, utility and more – so be ready to get your hands dirty! While headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the majority of our work is concentrated in the Central and South‑Central regions of the United States.

We’re looking for people committed to the construction industry rather than design.
