Field Administrator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Moss Utilities, we specialize in underground utility installations across the DFW Metroplex. Our project experience includes commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and public works infrastructure.

Founded in 2016, Moss Utilities carries forward a family legacy in Dallas-Fort Worth utility construction dating back to the early 1900s. As an employee-owned company (ESOP), every team member has a stake in our shared success and the future we are building together.

The Field Administrator is a field-based support position within the Cost Controls department. This role serves as a primary resource for Foremen and Superintendents when field systems, technology, or administrative processes are not working as intended.

The Field Administrator works directly with field teams to support tablets and mobile devices, time entry, production tracking, materials tracking, and system adoption. This position helps remove barriers that prevent field teams from using company tools and processes effectively while ensuring accurate information flows from the field to Cost Controls, Project Management, Payroll, and other office teams.

This is a hands-on role requiring daily interaction with active construction crews and frequent travel between jobsites.
