Field Project Engineer

Summary

JGM is a national, self-perform industrial contractor and structural steel fabricator. The Field Project Engineer connects field crews with project management by resolving quality issues, tracking materials and productivity, managing RFIs, supporting safety, and helping drive schedule and cost control on nationwide industrial construction projects.

Responsibilities

• Quality issue resolution. Foremen and crews flag problems, ideally on the ground and sometimes after a piece is up. You investigate, come back with a fix (not just the problem), get sign-off from the fabricator and PM, and work the correction with the crew
• Material tracking. Track incoming pieces and deliveries closely enough to know what can go up next and keep the erection sequence moving. Build your own tracking tools if what exists doesn't work
• Productivity tracking. Build and roll out foreman tracking sheets so crews can see their daily goals, then report productivity to project leadership daily and weekly
• Write and track RFIs: print clarifications, clashes, and erection-sequence questions (submittals are handled by the PM)
• Act as the superintendent's right hand: field questions from customers and foremen, and make the day-to-day calls when he's off site, knowing which decisions still go to him
• Serve as the go-between for the field and the office, helping drive schedule-acceleration and cost-control efforts
• Support safety through pre-task planning, JHAs, and toolbox talks
• Whatever the job needs that no one else is positioned to do, from customer meetings to picking up bolts

Skills

• A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in welding, fabrication, manufacturing, or the trades
• Ability to read drawings and specifications, or the drive to learn quickly
• Strong communication skills and comfort with spreadsheets for tracking and reporting
• Construction experience is a plus but not required
