Construction Field Engineer

Description

CapVest is a tight-knit team that is building impactful communities throughout NW Wisconsin. We build things we're proud of and we stand behind them long after the ribbon is cut. Our leadership knows your name, knows your work, and is on site often enough to see both. When you flag a problem, someone acts on it. When you crush something, someone says so.

If that sounds like the career you’ve been looking for, let's talk.

The Role

As a Construction Field Engineer, you are our eyes, standards, and judgment on the ground. You walk the work, catch what others miss, and make the call before a small issue becomes an expensive one. It’s hands-on, it’s high-trust, and it’s the strongest launch pad we have toward a future Project Superintendent seat.

What You'll Do

• •Conduct daily inspections using CapVest's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), making educated corrections where needed
• •Post daily logs in Buildertrend to document progress and quality
• •Oversee and complete punch lists for projects nearing close-out
• •Complete tenant work orders while projects are still under construction department warranty
• •Help uphold site safety and compliance with OSHA and company standards
• •Maintain a clean, organized job site — the kind you'd be glad to walk a client through unannounced

• •Manage and complete tasks
• •Post daily logs
• •Conduct daily safety inspections

Who Thrives Here

We are direct about our expectations, because the people who fit here want to know what they're being measured against:

• •Initiative and genuine curiosity about the craft; you take the educational opportunities we put in front of you
• •Positive working relationships with your peers, and the qualities that make people want to work with you
