Field Engineer

About The Positions

We’re seeking Field Engineers of various skill levels to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These positions are about knowing what actually happened on site each day and having the record to prove it. You’ll verify that installed work matches the approved documents, keep quantities, testing, and field issues documented as they occur, and build the factual basis for the decisions that follow.
