Field Engineer Intern/Office Engineer Intern

The Field Engineer (FE) works directly for the Superintendent and is expected to exercise judgment and discretion in making recommendations, implementing policies and procedures and handling a wide variety of matters in the field. The position is normally, but not necessarily preparatory to becoming an Office Engineer or Project Engineer. The primary purpose of the position is to proactively aid the Superintendent in front-line field management. In addition, the position requires a considerable amount of work, responsibility, persistence, problem solving ability and good attitude, because the FE is responsible for the majority of the layout on a project, supervision of trade workers and subcontractor employees, as well as lift drawings, safety, and quality control responsibilities. Although the majority of a Field Engineer's time will be spent in the field, there are some duties which will require work in the field office. This is a safety sensitive position. The Office Engineer (OE) position supports the execution of work in the field with a focus on project administration activities. The OE participates in many of the field activities especially as related to safety and quality control. The office engineer works with the project engineer and responsibilities include the exercise judgment and discretion in making recommendations, implementing policies and procedures, and handling a wide variety of matters in the office such as trade partner/supplier management to administer contract changes (e.g., RFIs and change orders), management of financial accounts, scheduling of deliveries, reporting on production trends, other administrative aspects of the project as outlined in the Book of 14 and much more.
