Construction Field Engineer

Summary

GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard form an infrastructure solutions platform focused on protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure. The Construction Field Engineer will lead technical execution on active geohazard mitigation projects, conducting site investigations, implementing designs, solving field problems, coordinating project teams, and owning safety and quality outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary on-site technical authority, translating design specifications into field execution while maintaining rigorous quality and safety standards. Make real-time engineering decisions that balance performance, cost, and schedule
• Conduct slope assessments, geotechnical testing, and rope-access inspections in challenging terrain. Develop rapid-turnaround site characterizations that inform design decisions and mitigation strategy
• Implement complex geohazard mitigation systems (soil stabilization, rockfall prevention, slope reinforcement). When field conditions diverge from design assumptions, develop and validate alternative solutions in real time—with engineering rigor
• Coordinate directly with project management, engineering staff, and construction teams. Document as-built conditions, material performance, and construction progress with precision for technical reporting and project controls. Be the reliable source of truth on field conditions
• Maintain and champion safety protocols in the field. Identify hazards, propose controls, and ensure every team member goes home safe. Quality is non-negotiable—develop the discipline and systems to prevent defects

Skills

• Have a track record of translating technical knowledge into measurable outcomes—examples: identified cost savings, improved safety metrics, accelerated project timelines, or delivered solutions under difficult field constraints
• Are analytically rigorous and comfortable with ambiguity. You can assess incomplete information, develop hypotheses, test them, and iterate toward solutions
• Communicate with precision—both in writing (reports, emails, technical documentation) and verbally. Clarity is a proxy for clear thinking
• Demonstrate extreme ownership: you don't blame systems or others; you ask "What could I have done differently?" and act on it
• Are energized by high-responsibility field work and willing to spend 70% of your time traveling to active project sites across the U.S., Canada, or Australasia
• Are technically fluent in Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, and slope stability software (SLIDE, PLAXIS, or equivalent). If you haven't used a specific tool, you learn it quickly
• Hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering, or related field (EIT or PE certification valued; exceptional candidates without formal credentials will be considered based on demonstrated capability)
