About The Position

The Construction Technology Field Technician is a hands-on, site-based role responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting construction technology hardware and related software used by field teams. The position focuses on field execution, including setup and operation of mobile devices, push-to-talk communication systems, drones, and other jobsite technology. The technician works directly with construction crews, superintendents, and field engineers to ensure devices are functional, connected, and ready for daily use. This is not a software development or traditional IT support role; it focuses on hands-on support of field devices, hardware, and connectivity in an active construction environment.

Working under the direction of the Construction Automation Lead and supporting Construction Automation Specialists, the technician ensures field technology is properly deployed, maintained, and supported to enable construction workflows. The role supports multiple crews and functional teams and responds to a high volume of day-to-day field technology needs.

The position is a full-time assignment at an active construction project site, with significant time spent in field environments supporting crews directly. It requires walking, climbing, working outdoors, and potentially traveling across different areas of the project site. The position is not eligible for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
