The role is remote with travel requirements; candidates should be authorized to work in the United States. A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field and 0–3 years’ experience are preferred. EIT is a plus.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Environmental Studies, or a closely related technical field (preferred).
0–3 years of relevant experience, with the ability to perform tasks with guidance and grow toward independent execution (aligned with Engineer I expectations).
Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification preferred or willingness to pursue certification.
Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including civil, structural, electrical, and geotechnical plans.
Foundational understanding of construction processes, testing practices (such as pile load testing), and engineering documentation.
High attention to detail with strong organizational skills and the ability to maintain accurate, disciplined documentation across multiple engineering workflows.
Problem-solving mindset with the ability to identify inconsistencies, collect supporting information, and elevate engineering concerns appropriately.
Strong communication skills, capable of explaining design updates, gathering field information, and collaborating with project managers, engineers, and field teams.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Word; exposure to CAD, GIS, drone-capture platforms, GPS machine-control datasets, or similar tools preferred.
Willingness to learn and support emerging construction technologies, including drone-based surveys, GPS-enabled equipment, and digital field data systems.
Ability to conduct field work, including walking construction sites, collecting data, observing installation methods, and participating in testing activities.
Sense of urgency and ownership, able to support fast-paced construction environments and respond quickly to engineering information needs.
Team-oriented, with the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, operations, warranty, and technology-focused groups.

Responsibilities

Coordinate daily engineering information flow to field teams, ensuring timely distribution of drawing updates, clarifications, and consultant responses.
Manage RFIs by drafting clear, concise questions, gathering supporting documentation, routing to the correct engineering discipline, and tracking closure to avoid schedule delays.
Interpret and communicate project-specific design requirements such as SOLV standards, contract requirements, and permit conditions.
Maintain engineering document control systems, including drawing sets, data room folders, engineering exhibits, submittals, and version tracking.
Participate in constructability reviews by identifying missing details, design conflicts, or potential field execution risks.
Support owner/IE comment cycles by preparing comment logs, collecting consultant responses, and presenting organized summaries to project managers and field teams.
Monitor engineering deliverable timelines, identify at-risk items, and support mitigation efforts with internal and external engineering partners.
