About The Position

The Construction Technology Field Technician is a hands-on, site-based role responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting construction technology hardware used by field teams. This position is focused on real-world field execution, including setup and operation of mobile devices, push-to-talk communication systems, drones, and other jobsite technology. The role 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; the position is focused on hands-on support of field devices, hardware, and connectivity in an active construction environment. The position requires strong troubleshooting skills, comfort working in an active construction environment, and the ability to quickly resolve device, hardware, and connectivity issues that impact field operations. Working under the direction of the Construction Automation Lead and supporting the Construction Automation Specialist, the Construction Technology Field Technician ensures field technology is properly deployed, maintained, and supported to enable efficient construction execution. The role supports multiple crews and functional teams across the project and requires responding to a high volume of day-to-day field technology needs.
