Title: Field Engineer (Utility Construction PG&E Programs)

Location: Anderson, CA (100% On-Site Field Role)

We are actively seeking a Field Engineer to support utility construction operations on PG&E projects throughout the Redding area.

Position Overview

• Track daily production for civil and electrical scopes
• Update Electronic Production Tool (EPT) with installed units and quantities
