Field Engineer
Westbrook, Maine • Projects across Maine, New Hampshire, and beyond
New to construction? Good we'll teach you the rest. Bring the drive.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Since 1993, BENCHMARK has been turning blueprints into buildings across Maine and New Hampshire, and we're looking for a Field Engineer ready to learn the business from the ground up literally. This is a great fit for someone just starting out (recent grad, intern-turned-hire, or career changer) who wants hands-on experience alongside people who'll actually show you the ropes. You won't be fetching coffee you'll be out on-site, measuring, documenting, and learning how a real project comes together, with a team that's genuinely invested in your growth.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING
Assist the Superintendent and Project Manager with day-to-day field operations
Take field measurements and layout, and help verify work matches drawings and specifications
Maintain daily field reports, logs, and jobsite documentation
Track material deliveries and help coordinate with subcontractors on-site
Support quality control walk-throughs and help maintain punch lists
Take progress photos and help keep project records organized and current
Learn and help enforce jobsite safety standards
Support scheduling updates and help track project milestones
Assist with as-built drawings and closeout documentation
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
Minimal experience required an internship, coursework, or genuine interest in construction is enough to start
A four-year degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field is a plus, but not required
Willingness to learn, ask questions, and be out on the jobsite in all conditions
Comfortable with basic computer tools (Microsoft Office); exposure to AutoCAD or Procore is a bonus, not a requirement
Strong attention to detail and solid communication skills
A team-first attitude and the drive to grow into a Project Engineer or Project Manager role over time
EDUCATION
Four-year college degree preferred, but not required relevant coursework, internships, or field experience will be considered
