Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA.

As a Field Engineer, you will work alongside experienced staff at project sites, focusing on quality control, GPS layout, and documentation, while developing the skills needed for future project management or field supervision roles.

Responsibilities

• Work side-by-side with Superintendents and PMs to support daily field operations on large-scale renewable energy and heavy civil projects
• Interpret construction plans, specs, and drawings — and make sure the work in the ground matches what's on paper
• Perform layout and verification using GPS and conventional survey methods
• Lead QC processes in the field to ensure all work meets project specifications and contract requirements
• Conduct inspections of installed work and maintain detailed documentation: inspection reports, test results, and daily quality logs
• Identify deficiencies, communicate them clearly, and track corrective actions through to completion
• Operate Topcon GPS equipment for layout verification and field data collection
• Collect, process, and maintain accurate as-built records throughout the project lifecycle
• Keep as-built documentation organized, complete, and aligned with project requirements
• Manage field documentation including drawings, RFIs, submittals, and change orders
• Track quantities installed and assist with progress reporting
• Coordinate with project teams and owner representatives to keep communication tight

Skills

• 1–2 years of experience in construction, field engineering, or quality control — heavy civil, underground utilities, or renewable energy preferred
• Ability and willingness to travel full-time to project sites across the U.S
• Familiarity with MS Office Suite; experience with Bluebeam or MS Project is a plus
• Strong attention to detail, especially when it comes to documentation and QC tracking
• Clear communicator — you can work with a field crew in the morning and a client representative in the afternoon
• A construction-related degree (Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or similar) is preferred but not required — we value demonstrated field aptitude and work ethic

Benefits

• Medical Insurance: 100% company-paid for you and your family
• PTO: Four weeks annually + 40 hours sick time
• 401(k) with employer match
