  • Conduct quality inspections to ensure adherence to project specifications and timelines.

  • Maintain and submit trucking logs, material tickets, and JULIE (underground utility locate) orders.

  • Address field concerns, resolve conflicts, and support site personnel with on-the-ground decision making.

Required Qualifications:

  • Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and field experience.

  • Minimum 2 years of supervisory experience in heavy highway excavation or similar field.

  • Strong leadership, coordination, and communication skills.
