Sr. Field Engineer

This Opportunity

WSP is currently initiating a search for a Full-Time Sr. Field Engineer to work out of Guam. The successful candidate will have proven experience providing fielding engineering, inspection, construction and technical coordination on US government building and horizontal related construction projects.

Our ideal candidate will have experience being in the field supporting detailed design efforts, permitting, surveying, geotechnical investigation, as well as during construction supporting the owner through both design-bid-build and design-build projects. This role will directly interface with the construction contractor, designer of record, client, and home office engineering team to address field related questions, support construction sequencing, monitoring progress, provide inspection support, and proactively support the execution of construction. This is not a construction management position and the ideal candidate will be expected to have experience in proactive communication and problem solving throughout the life-cycle of the design-bid project. By identifying constructability and engineering related issues, resolving problems in real time, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, the project field engineer will help reduce change orders, control costs, and facilitate efficiency in construction progress.
