A Site Engineer, sometimes referred to as a field engineer, essentially is in charge of the technical components of a construction project. Site Engineers choose a project’s site, oversee surveys, review construction materials, check blueprints and other drawings, ensure adherence to safety procedures and file reports about a project’s technical problems and progress. It is up to a Site Engineer to manage contractors and sub-contractors, offer technical advice and work with clients, foremen and other personnel to solve any technical problems related to a construction project. Site Engineers are also responsible for ensuring that projects are completed within specified timeframes and budgets. These professionals generally draw on knowledge of various engineering principles and concepts.
