Field Engineer

With 125 years of experience, the FCC Group's Infrastructure Division is present in 25 countries, and its activities cover all areas of engineering and construction. It is a leader in the execution of transport infrastructure, as well as in residential and non-residential construction. FCC Construcción is currently the fourth-largest construction company in Spain in terms of contract volume and ranks among the top 30 in the world, according to the international magazine ENR (Engineering News-Record).

We are looking for a Field Engineer to join our FCC Team assigned to the MTA’s Second Avenue Subway Project.

This position is based in New York, NY, and requires daily presence in the office and/or on construction sites.

The MTA’s Second Avenue Subway project is a $7.7B expansion that will extend the Q Line from 96th Street into East Harlem, adding three new ADA-accessible stations at 106th, 116th, and 125th Streets. This long-awaited project will restore rapid transit access to a community underserved for decades, ease overcrowding on the Lexington Avenue line, and cut commute times—delivering a transformative impact for East Harlem residents and the city as a whole.

This position will support the $2 billion design-build contract for Phase 2, which includes two tunnels that will enable the development of two new subway stations in New York. Led by Connect Plus Partners, a joint venture between FCC Construction and Halmar International, the project brings together extensive experience in large-scale infrastructure, complex tunneling, and urban transit construction.

• Review and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and submittals for use in the field.
• Coordinate and track construction progress using activity-level schedules and progress measurement systems.
• Participate in and document responses to RFIs, field changes, and non-conformance issues.
• Provide support in managing subcontractor interfaces, daily production tracking, and verification of completed quantities.
• Monitor geotechnical instrumentation data (settlement points, extensometers, piezometers, etc.) and flag deviations to engineering or geotechnical leads.
• Ensure compliance with safety plans, quality assurance protocols, and environmental standards through field inspections and checklists.
• Assist with preparation and maintenance of construction documentation, including as-builts, redlines, test reports, and shift logs.
• Coordinate and input field data for schedule updates, productivity tracking, and earned value analysis.
• Support the preparation of daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports.
• Interface with survey teams, field engineers from other disciplines, and quality control personnel to align work.
