The Role We Want You For

The IT Field Engineer provides advanced IT services to internal customers at Clayco jobsites across the country. Building on the Field Support Technician role, this position adds responsibility for solution design and ownership of jobsite communication. Beyond installing, documenting, and testing computer systems and peripherals, the Field Engineer serves as the primary technical point of contact for jobsite stakeholders, designs and commissions network and AV solutions for temporary site infrastructure — including AV tent builds and data center temporary connectivity — and communicates project timelines directly to jobsite leadership.

This role requires the ability to translate field requests into workable technical designs and to prioritize tickets according to business impact. It is a heavily field-based position: expect 40% or more travel, frequently to active construction sites, with the ability to deploy on short notice when a site-down condition requires immediate on-site resolution.
