The Physical Side of the Role: This role is primarily office-based, involving significant computer work, document review, meetings, and other administrative tasks that require prolonged sitting.

The role requires visual acuity-including near and far vision, color perception, and depth perception-for reviewing plans and evaluating field conditions. While physical demands are moderate, you should be comfortable performing occasional bending, kneeling, and reaching, as well as lifting and carrying materials up to 25 pounds when needed.

Work Environment/Conditions: This job is performed both in the office and in the field on an active construction site. Field work requires experience and confidence working in and around heavy industrial equipment and systems, which includes average to loud noises, ability to traverse uneven grounds, and possible outdoor weather conditions. Vision requires the capacity for close and far vision, the ability to adjust focus, depth perception and peripherial vision. Activities and responsibilities require frequent sitting (often working on a computer), frequent driving, flying, walking, standing, light lifting, bending, and reaching. Due to computer usage, there may be repetitive motions of the hands and wrists.
