Wilson Construction Co.•Anderson, CA

About The Position

We are actively seeking a Field Engineer to support utility construction operations on PG&E projects throughout the Redding area. This is not a remote or work-from-home position. This role requires a daily presence in the field, working directly alongside crews, General Foremen, and project teams at active jobsites. Candidates must be located in Northern California or willing to relocate prior to start. Out-of-state and remote-only applicants will not be considered. The Field Engineer serves as the critical link between field operations and project management, ensuring projects are organized, documented, and executed efficiently in real time. This is a hands-on, field-driven role, not a traditional engineering position (no design/PE work). Success in this role requires strong organizational discipline, communication skills, and the ability to operate independently in fast-paced jobsite environments.
