PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

This role requires frequent transitions between office and construction field settings. In the office, you’ll sit for extended periods, performing repetitive tasks like typing and using a mouse. In the field, you’ll stand and walk for long periods on uneven terrain, climb stairs, kneel, crouch, crawl to inspect tight spaces, and occasionally lift up to 40 pounds. Good vision and hearing are essential for reading plans, inspecting work, and communicating on-site. You’ll work outdoors in various weather conditions, adhere to site-specific dress codes, and wear PPE (hard hats, gloves, safety glasses, steel-toed boots). Flexibility to travel between job sites and work outside regular hours is required. Reasonable accommodations are available to support individuals with disabilities.

As our Project Engineer, you’ll be the critical link between design and installation, transforming complex plans into clear, buildable direction for our field teams on a semiconductor project. This role is about technical expertise, field support, and collaboration.
