Our Construction Engineering and Inspection team plays a critical role in turning plans into reality; safely, on time, and within budget. We understand that successful construction is a team effort, requiring close coordination between owners, engineers, and contractors. Our experts provide full-service construction administration as well as specialized inspection and testing services for a wide range of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, docks, retaining walls, sign supports, and reservoirs.

If you're a detail-oriented professional who thrives in the fast-paced, hands-on environment of construction and takes pride in delivering quality results, we invite you to join a team that’s building with purpose and precision.

Are you ready to be a vital part of delivering impactful infrastructure and construction projects? We are seeking a Field Project Representative 2 who thrives in dynamic field environments and is passionate about ensuring quality, compliance, and precision throughout the construction process. In this role, you'll be responsible for a wide range of construction observation, documentation, and administrative duties during the construction phase.

You will interpret contract plans and specifications, observe and inspect contractor work for compliance, and maintain detailed project records—including notes, reports, and pay requests. Your attention to detail and ability to keep accurate documentation will directly influence project success and client satisfaction.

This is a hands-on, field-based position that offers the opportunity to work directly on-site where the action happens. Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be willing and able to travel for extended periods and may be required to work night shifts and weekends, as necessary. You’ll also collaborate closely with other Construction Engineering and Inspection staff, supporting field administration tasks such as RFIs, change orders, and more.

If you have strong organizational skills, a keen eye for detail, and enjoy being a critical part of construction project execution, we encourage you to apply. Join us and help build the future—one project at a time.
