SkillBridge: Construction Technical Representative

Benesch (Kansas City or Colorado Preferred)

This opportunity is for transitioning service members looking to build a civilian career in construction, infrastructure, or engineering support.

You will support project engineers, inspectors, and contractors by documenting work progress, reporting safety and quality issues, conducting field measurements, and learning the fundamentals of infrastructure project execution.

This is not classroom‑based training. You will be in the field, learning through real work. Whether you have experience in construction or are just curious about how things get built, this is a chance to step into a career where your attention to detail and mission mindset will make a difference.
