Construction Review Technician

Construction Review Technician

At Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M), we exist to empower people, improve communities, and thrive together. As a Construction Review Technician (CRT), you'll play a hands-on role in delivering the infrastructure that makes communities safer, stronger, and more resilient—while growing your career in a 100% employee-owned firm that invests in its people.

This role is intentionally designed for a wide range of experience levels—from individuals starting a hands-on construction career to seasoned professionals ready to lead, mentor, and shape project success.

At R/M, your work matters and your voice counts. As employee-owners, we take pride in being proactive, elevating others, and owning our work—from the office to the field to the final outcome. You'll be part of a collaborative Construction Services Team that values quality, accountability, and long-term relationships.

As a CRT, you'll work directly in the field on real-world municipal infrastructure projects—sewer, water, paving, and more—seeing your efforts turn into tangible improvements for the communities you serve.

Responsibilities scale with experience and may include:

• Reviewing construction of municipal infrastructure projects to ensure compliance with plans, specifications, and standards
• Verifying line, grade, materials, quantities, and workmanship using field measurements and tools
• Preparing accurate daily reports, documentation, and record drawings using electronic reporting software
• Communicating effectively with contractors, engineers, project managers, and municipal officials
• Serving as a professional point of contact for public inquiries
• Identifying construction issues and proactively recommending or escalating solutions
• Coordinating on-site activities to support safety, efficiency, and quality

For experienced candidates, responsibilities may also include:

• Acting as on-site coordinator or lead for construction projects
• Mentoring and supporting less experienced field staff
• Providing constructability insight and field leadership to project teams

We are intentionally open to a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels. You may be a great fit if you bring:

• A strong work ethic, attention to detail, and pride in quality work
• Comfort working outdoors in active construction environments
• Professional communication skills with contractors, project teams, and the public
• Basic to advanced math skills and ability to interpret construction drawings
• Flexibility to work across multiple project sites
• A commitment to learning, accountability, and continuous improvement
• A valid driver's license, personal vehicle, and insurance

Experience with construction, inspection, surveying, municipal infrastructure, or CAD is a plus—but not required. Candidates with significant experience (10+ years) may take on advanced leadership and mentoring responsibilities.

• Paid Training & Mentorship – Structured onboarding and continuous learning at every career stage
• Employee Ownership – Participate in our ESOP and share in the firm's success
• Career Growth – Clear paths within construction services, project management, and engineering support
