Job summary

Luster National is seeking Field Engineers to support large, complex heavy civil programs across highways, bridges, rail, and water projects in the United States. You’ll verify field work against plans, maintain daily reports, and drive timely responses to RFIs to avoid delays.

Ideal candidates bring 5+ years of field experience, strong documentation skills, and proficiency with common construction software. This is a full-time on-site role with competitive pay and benefits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction engineering, construction management, or structural engineering, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 5+ years of field engineering or construction management experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
• Working knowledge of construction plans, specifications, submittals, and requests for information, and the ability to interpret them against work being built in the field.
• Experience maintaining construction field records, including daily reports, quantity records, and documentation of site conditions.
• Working knowledge of construction materials testing, acceptance procedures, and quality assurance documentation on heavy civil projects.
• Experience with industry standard construction document control and field documentation software (e.g., Bluebeam Revu, Adobe Acrobat, Procore, e-Builder, Aconex, etc.).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Monitor daily construction activities against the approved plans, specifications, and permit conditions, and document what was built, where, and under what conditions.
• Prepare and maintain project field records, including daily reports, quantity records, photographs, and logs of site conditions, delays, and directives.
• Verify installed quantities and work in place against contract pay items, and support review of the progress payment applications.
• Review submittals, shop drawings, and material documentation for conformance with the contract documents, and track them through to disposition.
• Coordinate requests for information among the contractor, the designer of record, and the program team, and drive responses to closure so field work is not held up.
• Witness and document acceptance testing and materials sampling under the project quality assurance program, including concrete, asphalt pavement, and earthwork, and record nonconforming work until it is corrected.
• Verify structures work against approved shop and working drawings, including falsework and shoring, reinforcing steel placement, and structural concrete placement, before the contractor proceeds.
• Compare schedule updates and look-ahead plans against observed field progress, and flag deviations that put milestones or access windows at risk.
• Document field issues, differing site conditions, and changed work as they occur, so the program’s position on changes and claims rests on contemporaneous records.
• Support construction oversight in and around active corridors and operating facilities, confirming that approved work windows, protection, and access restrictions hold.
• Support close-out, including punch list tracking, verification of as-built records, and turnover documentation.
