Job Description

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

WHY OUR CREW STICKS AROUND

We're not a family business but stick with us a while and it starts to feel like one. Here's what our team says they love most:

Autonomy nobody's hovering over your shoulder. Own your work.

Real trust and respect, from leadership on down

A genuine sense of camaraderie the good-natured ribbing kind, not the forced kind

A team that actually has your back when things get tough on-site

Zero micromanagement we hire good people and let them do their jobs

A workplace that's fun, upbeat, and doesn't take itself too seriously

Proof it works: 75% of our team was referred by another employee

LET'S BUILD SOMETHING TOGETHER

Think you're the right fit? We'd love to hear from you.
