Job Snapshot

Job Description

If you want to be in the field, learn fast, and work on projects that actually matter, this is the opportunity.

A leading heavy civil contractor in the Southeast is hiring Field Engineers to support large-scale highway and bridge projects. You will not be stuck behind a desk. You will be out in the field, gaining real experience, working alongside strong teams, and building a career on major infrastructure work.

What You Will Be Doing:

  • Supporting field operations on highway and bridge projects
  • Working directly with Superintendents and Project Managers
  • Handling RFIs, submittals, and project documentation
  • Tracking progress, quantities, and daily production
  • Learning how projects are actually built from the ground up

What They Are Looking For:

  • 1–5 years of experience in heavy civil or construction
  • Civil Engineering or Construction Management background preferred
  • Someone motivated, reliable, and ready to learn
  • Willingness to be in the field and travel as needed

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Work on large, visible infrastructure projects
  • Fast-paced learning and real responsibility early on
  • Strong team environment with hands-on mentorship
  • Clear path to Project Engineer, Project Manager, or Superintendent

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to get in, work hard, and grow quickly.
