Field Engineer - Structural

Responsibilities

This role involves periodic site visits to review and document structural construction activities from a design verification standpoint. The engineer will not be responsible for day-to-day supervision but will conduct technical observations, verify compliance with structural drawings, and review testing and quality documentation. The position serves as a key interface between the design team and the project site for technical coordination and quality assurance.

Responsibilities include:

• Conduct periodic site inspections to review structural construction works for conformance with issued drawings and general engineering practice.
• Verify rebar layout, spacing, cover, and detailing before concrete pours.
• Observe formwork stability, temporary supports, and excavation slopes for basic safety and structural adequacy.
• Review testing reports for concrete, reinforcement, structural steel, and other materials.
• Evaluate method statements and erection sequences for structural components from a design intent perspective.
• Perform dimensional checks on selected structural elements during site visits.
• Review Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) and steel fabrication/shop drawings submitted by contractors or fabricators.
• Assist in reviewing and resolving RFIs (Requests for Information) in coordination with structural engineers in-house.
• Prepare clear and concise site observation reports with photographs, comments, and follow-up actions.
• Maintain proper records of inspections, communications, and QA documents.
• Estimate and verify structural quantities (concrete, reinforcement, PCC, steel tonnage) as required.
• Travel for project inspections within Pune, Maharashtra, or occasionally outside the state.

Qualifications

• Diploma/ Bachelor's in Civil Engineering required. 
• 0-2 years of relevant experience. 
• Field experience of 0-2 years in construction of RCC or steel structures preferred.
• Strong understanding of structural drawings, GA drawings, reinforcement, and steel detailing.
• Working knowledge of IS codes, rebar detailing practices, and concrete construction.
• Familiarity with site testing procedures (slump, cube, steel tensile tests, rebar inspection, etc.).
• Ability to review method statements, erection procedures, and testing reports from a structural safety perspective.
• Basic knowledge of quantity estimation for concrete, reinforcement, and structural steel.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and MS Office (Word, Excel).
• Strong observation, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
• Reasonable communication and coordination abilities to interface with contractors, fabricators, and consultants.
