Construction Layout Specialist ; Entry Level

Haskell is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Construction Layout Specialist I to support construction surveying, field layout, and as-built data collection on active construction projects.

In this role, you'll work with construction field teams and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC/BIM) professionals to help ensure accurate placement of piping, equipment, structures, concrete elements, and other construction components.

The ideal candidate has hands-on construction experience, strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn technical surveying equipment and construction layout methods.

Previous surveying or rodman experience is a plus, but candidates with transferable construction field experience and the ability to learn are encouraged to apply.

• Assist with establishing and transferring control points, benchmarks, grid lines, and elevations.
• Support field layout for piping, equipment, structures, walls, columns, and anchor bolts.
• Perform basic measurements and layout activities using tape measures, squares, builder's levels, transits, and robotic total stations.
• Assist with identifying and resolving field layout discrepancies under guidance.
• Support layout and quality-control activities for self-performed construction and subcontractor work.

• Assist with collecting field measurements, as-built data, and reality capture information.
• Learn and support the use of robotic total stations, laser scanning equipment, and digital construction tools.
• Maintain accurate field notes, daily reports, and documentation.
• Assist with transferring field data to the VDC/BIM team.
• Follow established procedures for equipment care, maintenance, and data collection.

• Develop the ability to read and interpret construction drawings, dimensions, and basic construction models.
• Assist with reviewing layout drawings and field information before work begins.
• Communicate with field supervisors, construction teams, and VDC personnel regarding project needs.
• Follow company surveying standards, best practices, and safety procedures.

• Minimum 2 years of construction-related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, per the official Level I classification.
• Experience in construction fieldwork, surveying, mechanical construction, piping, concrete, civil/sitework, or related trades.
• Basic math, measurement, and problem-solving abilities.
• Strong attention to detail and communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively, follow instructions, and accept feedback.
• Strong work ethic, dependability, and willingness to learn.
• General knowledge of construction jobsite safety practices.
• Basic computer skills preferred.
• Willingness and ability to travel to project locations as required.

• Survey Rodman, Survey Helper, Survey Assistant, or Survey Technician experience.
• Exposure to total stations or robotic total stations.
• Experience assisting with construction layout, elevations, benchmarks, or field measurements.
• Mechanical construction, process piping, concrete, or site construction experience.
• Familiarity with construction drawings or digital construction technology.

We're looking for someone who is hands-on, curious, dependable, and eager to build technical skills. Success in this role requires accuracy, a safety-first mindset, teamwork, and a willingness to learn from experienced construction layout professionals.

This position offers opportunities to advance technical capabilities in construction surveying, robotic total station operation, laser scanning, reality capture, and VDC/BIM coordination, with potential progression into Construction Layout Specialist II and more advanced field layout positions.

Field-based construction work with travel required. Duties may involve standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and handling equipment weighing approximately 10–50 pounds, with reasonable accommodations as applicable.
