What is a controls field engineer?

Controls Field Engineers are professionals who specialize in the installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of control systems in various industries, such as manufacturing, energy, and HVAC. They work primarily on-site at client locations to ensure that automated systems and machinery operate efficiently and safely. Their responsibilities often include configuring control hardware and software, conducting system tests, and training clients on system use. They play a crucial role in minimizing downtime and optimizing the performance of complex industrial control systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a controls field engineer?

To thrive as a Controls Field Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, instrumentation, and automation, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree and field experience. Familiarity with PLCs, SCADA systems, HMI programming, and certifications like ISA or Siemens are highly valuable. Strong troubleshooting abilities, communication skills, and adaptability help you stand out when dealing with complex onsite challenges and client interactions. These skills ensure reliable system performance, efficient problem resolution, and successful project delivery in dynamic industrial environments.

What are some common challenges controls field engineers face when working on-site and how can they be addressed?

Controls Field Engineers often encounter challenges such as troubleshooting complex control system issues under tight time constraints, adapting to a variety of on-site conditions, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders like contractors, clients, and other engineering teams.

Job description

Precision starts in the field.


At Martin Concrete Construction, we don’t just build structures — we build careers, develop talented teams, and take pride in doing things the right way. Our success is built on precision, teamwork, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work on every project.


We’re looking for a Field Layout Engineer who is detail-oriented, technically skilled, and comfortable working hands-on in the field. If you have a strong understanding of construction layout and surveying, enjoy solving problems in real time, and take pride in accuracy, this could be a great opportunity to grow with Martin Concrete.


As a Field Layout Engineer, you’ll play an important role in ensuring our projects are built accurately and according to plans and specifications. You’ll work directly with Foremen, Superintendents, project teams, and field crews to establish and maintain precise layout and survey controls throughout the project.


This is a hands-on, field-based position where your technical expertise will directly impact the quality, efficiency, and success of our construction projects.


What You’ll Do

    • Perform precise site layout and manage construction planning to ensure project accuracy.
    • Execute and maintain horizontal and vertical survey control using advanced tools such as GPS, levels, and total stations.
    • Monitor and maintain project safety and quality standards at all times.
    • Organize and oversee project documentation, including survey notes, correspondence, submittals, and RFIs.
    • Deliver weekly as-built reports on all completed work.
    • Collaborate with the site Foreman/Superintendent to ensure project specifications are met.
    • Assist in formwork and falsework design if qualifications align.
    • Maintain all issued survey equipment and electronics.

    Qualifications 

    • Proficiency in reading and interpreting drawings and specifications.
    • Strong ability in geometrical and mathematical calculations.
    • Expertise in surveying tools and site layout processes.
    • Solid knowledge of basic computer systems and software.
    • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
    • Reliable transportation and a willingness to travel frequently.


    Physical & Field Requirements

    This is an active, field-based position that requires regular presence on construction jobsites. The Field Layout Engineer must be comfortable working outdoors and navigating active construction environments.

    The role regularly requires:

    • Walking and standing for extended periods throughout the workday.
    • Moving throughout active construction sites and navigating uneven terrain.
    • Climbing stairs, ladders, and accessing elevated areas of construction.
    • Working outdoors in varying weather conditions, including heat, cold, wind, and rain.
    • Working at heights and around active construction equipment.
    • Lifting and carrying survey equipment, materials, and tools weighing 50 pounds or more as needed.
    • Wearing required jobsite PPE, including hard hat, safety vest, safety glasses, and work boots.


    Travel & Work Schedule

    This is a full-time, on-site position requiring regular travel to Martin Concrete project locations across the United States.
