About the role

Syblon Reid is looking for a Field Project Engineer to support our Project Manager and field crews on heavy civil construction projects. This role is an important part of keeping project work moving safely, accurately, and efficiently. The Field Project Engineer helps connect the work happening in the field with the planning, documentation, communication, production tracking, and problem-solving needed to support successful project execution.

We are a professional, hardworking team — but we are also a close group that values connection, accountability, teamwork, and people who are willing to jump in where needed. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, field exposure, technical work, and being part of challenging projects that are anything but ordinary. Project assignments and future locations are based on business needs, and mobility is a key part of long-term success in these roles. Candidates must be open to temporary relocation or traveling on rotational schedules as needed to support active project locations.
