About the work:
Most Engineering and Construction professionals spend their careers working on roads and buildings from behind a screen in an office. Ours spend theirs inside hydroelectric dams, in tunnels and on underground and geotechnical projects that most contractors won’t take on. Our project engineers are in the field from the start, working next to people who have spent their whole careers on this kind of work. If that sounds like the kind of experience you’re looking for, we’d like to hear from you.

What you'll do:

Implement project quality control plans
Interpret drawings and specifications, perform quantity calculations and material takeoffs
Develop weekly look-ahead schedules to help the Superintendent stay ahead of project work
Field surveying and layout alongside our crews
Prepare work plans and schedule material deliveries
Maintain project records, including daily reports, photos, and job cost data
Support change orders and as-built documentation
Learn cost tracking and scheduling from project managers who will train you to run your own work
Learn, collaborate, and innovate on each project

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management
1-2 years of U.S. Based heavy civil experience (internships and co-ops count)
Able to read and work from construction drawings
