POSITION SUMMARY

The Concrete Field Engineer is a critical member of the project team, responsible for ensuring that all concrete elements are accurately laid out and constructed according to project plans and specifications. This role involves a blend of field and office work, with a primary focus on translating digital plans into precise physical layouts on the construction site. The ideal candidate will be an expert in using modern survey equipment, such as a Robotic Total Station, and proficient in managing, preparing, and uploading layout data points to and from CAD software.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

Field Layout & Surveying:

• Perform precise layout for foundations, walls, columns, anchor bolts, embeds, and other concrete structures using a Robotic Total Station and other survey instruments.
• Establish and maintain horizontal and vertical control points throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct as-built surveys of completed work to verify accuracy and for project records.

Data Management & CAD Integration:

• Extract, prepare, and manage layout points from project drawings (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.).
• Upload layout point files to the Robotic Total Station data collector.
• Download as-built data from the field and import it into CAD software to verify construction tolerances and update project drawings.
• Troubleshoot and resolve any issues related to data transfer between the field and the office.

Quality Control & Assurance:

• Proactively review project drawings and specifications to identify potential layout or construction conflicts before they arise.
• Verify formwork, rebar, and embed placements against layout points before concrete placement.
• Maintain detailed and accurate records of all layout activities and quality control checks.

Team Collaboration & Communication:

• Work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and Foremen to coordinate layout needs and construction sequencing.
• Clearly communicate layout information and any field discrepancies to the relevant team members.
• Assist in the preparation of lift drawings and other field-related documentation.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

• A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field is preferred, but equivalent field experience will be strongly considered.
• Minimum of 2-4 years of experience in a field engineering or construction layout role, with a significant focus on concrete structures.
• Advanced proficiency with Robotic Total Stations (e.g., Trimble, Leica, Topcon) and data collectors.
• Strong skills in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or similar CAD software for point creation and data management.
• Ability to read, interpret, and analyze complex construction drawings and specifications.
• Solid understanding of concrete construction means and methods, as well as construction tolerances.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced construction environment.
