• Work with international engineering standards and multidisciplinary or multinational project teams
• Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentoring to civil engineers, designers, and engineering technicians

Individual field assignments typically each have their own unique requirements.  Prior to deployment on any field assignment, you must be able to meet all client-specific site requirements.  Should you be unable or unwilling to meet assignment-specific requirements, your continued employment would then be subject to the availability of other assignments whose requirements can be met.  These unique requirements may include:

• You must possess physical mobility (on the ground and at heights).
• You may be required to pick up, lift, carry, and move up to 50 lbs.
• You may be required to work at heights, climb ladders and stairways, and may occasionally work off platforms/scaffolding/ladders using the appropriate and required fall protection.  
• You must be able to work in all weather conditions (including heat, rain, cold, and wind) while wearing the appropriate PPE. This may include but not be limited to a hard hat, safety glasses/goggles, ear plugs, masks/respirators, hi-vis safety vests, leather gloves, and leather, steel-toed work boots.  
• You may be required to position yourself to work in confined spaces
• You may be required to adhere to a client’s random drug testing program prior to entering their site.
• You may be required to meet a client’s facial hair safety policy prior to entering their site.
