Field Engineer

At Stantec, we know the work we do matters. From decarbonizing mines to modernizing electric grids and building the infrastructure that fuels communities, we’re powering the world. Our clients come to us with their biggest, most complex challenges because that’s where we thrive. And we’re looking for problem solvers, high achievers, and visionaries to help us. Join us for a chance to grow professionally at one of the world’s top design firms while building our clean energy future.

Stantec has an opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced Field Engineer (FE) with large‑scale marine and civil works design and construction inspection expertise to provide designer‑of‑record support. This is a full‑time, 5‑day per week assignment requiring on‑site presence Monday through Friday. The role supports our designer‑of‑record office and field team for an ongoing major military construction project located at the US Navy’s Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME.

The project involves the construction of 134 large‑diameter, drilled “deep foundation” shafts in a marine environment. The FE will work alongside the geotechnical engineering team to provide quality assurance oversight of all aspects of shaft construction and acceptance. There are also 40,000 cubic yards of precast concrete and 50,000 cubic yards of cast‑in‑place concrete. The FE will oversee and document construction of permanent structures, including rebar inspections and concrete quality assurance, and file daily field reports (DFRs) each day with the client.

Close coordination of construction interfaces with concurrent construction activities at the Shipyard is essential.

• Understand and interpret contract documents—including design drawings and specifications—and confirm shaft construction is in conformance with the contract requirements.
• Provide field engineering services, including inspection of steel reinforcing and casing elements prior to construction; observation of all aspects of drilling operations; communication with the geotechnical engineering team for rock socket inspections and/or standing in for inspections; down‑hole inspection; and testing prior to acceptance.
• Provide field engineering services during concrete placements, documenting concrete testing and providing quality assurance.
• Support the Resident Engineer and Lead Design Engineer in coordinating and supporting a diverse group of office and field engineers, inspectors, and subconsultants.
• Review and respond to contractor submittals and RFIs, monitor daily progress of Contractor’s work, and assist in the evaluation of value engineering proposals or field‑initiated design changes.

• US Citizenship required; ability to pass DBIDs and NAVSEA badge background check required.
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize and multi‑task in a fast‑paced environment.
• Demonstrated experience in heavy marine and civil design and construction procedures and policies.
• Strong leadership skills and ability to solve problems, direct others, and work with subconsultants.
• Solid oral and written communication skills.
• Drilled shaft experience.
• Precast or concrete testing experience.
• Demonstrated experience with large‑scale marine construction and its quality for achieving design service life requirements in a marine environment.

• Bachelor’s degree (BS) in civil or structural engineering.
• 3 to 7 years’ experience in construction or rehabilitation of large‑scale transportation, marine, or civil works infrastructure, or 10 years of construction inspection experience on similar projects is required.
• Engineer license preferred.
