Position Overview:Your Field Experience. Your Leadership. Your Next Opportunity.
Universal Engineering Sciences (UES) is looking for a hands-on Field Supervisor to lead and support our Construction Materials Testing (CMT) operations in Wichita, Kansas.
We're seeking an experienced field professional who knows what it takes to keep construction projects moving, technicians supported, and field operations running efficiently.
This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned CMT technician or field leader ready to take the next step in their career. Whether you've already supervised a team or have become the go-to person others rely on in the field, we want to hear from you.
We're looking for more than technical expertise. We value leadership, accountability, strong communication, and the ability to develop a dependable team. Industry certifications are a plus, but practical field experience, sound judgment, and a commitment to safety are what matter most.
Our Wichita team supports construction materials testing and inspection services across a variety of projects throughout the region. As project demands evolve, we're focused on strengthening our field operations, developing our technicians, and ensuring our teams have the resources and leadership they need to succeed.
As Field Supervisor, you'll be a key part of that effort. You'll work closely with project managers, field technicians, and branch leadership to keep daily operations organized, maintain quality standards, and help build a team that takes pride in its work.
This isn't a desk-only leadership position. We need someone who understands the field, can make decisions when challenges arise, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves when the team needs support.
Lead & Develop Your Team: Provide day-to-day leadership, coaching, and hands-on training to CMT field technicians at various experience levels.
Keep Operations Moving: Assist with daily scheduling, staffing, dispatching, and resource coordination to meet project demands across the Wichita market.
Make Safety a Priority: Promote safe work practices, reinforce company safety standards, and lead by example.
Manage Field Readiness: Help oversee company vehicles, testing equipment, supplies, and other resources to ensure technicians are prepared for their assignments.
Support Technical Growth: Monitor training needs, certifications, and opportunities to help technicians advance their skills and careers.
Partner With Leadership: Work closely with project managers and branch leadership to address operational challenges, improve efficiency, and maintain client satisfaction.
Stay Connected to the Field: Provide technical guidance and step in to assist with field testing and inspections when needed.
Strong hands-on experience in Construction Materials Testing (CMT), construction inspection, or a closely related field.
Working knowledge of field testing activities involving soils, concrete, asphalt, and construction materials.
Demonstrated leadership ability, whether through formal supervision, mentoring, training, or serving as a senior field resource.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to balance multiple projects, priorities, and team needs.
Excellent communication skills and a professional, solutions-oriented approach.
Experience coordinating technicians, equipment, or daily field operations is highly valued.
Familiarity with industry certifications such as ACI, KDOT, or other relevant testing credentials is a plus.
A commitment to safety, quality, teamwork, and developing others.
