About The Position

LotusWorks is seeking a Junior CSA Field Engineer to support Construction Project Managers on civil, structural, and architectural work for a large-scale semiconductor fab build in New Albany, Ohio, before transitioning into the Quality and Commissioning team. The two-phase position involves supporting construction activities and coordinating scope through installation, followed by verification, inspection, and turnover of building envelope, cleanroom architecture, and site civil systems to the Owner. In the construction phase, the engineer will coordinate CSA scope, track progress and project documentation, conduct field walks, and help keep work packages on schedule. After construction activities, the role transitions to quality and commissioning work, supporting inspections, quality checks, non-conformance resolution, punch lists, and turnover documentation. The position works with contractors, inspectors, testing agencies, Project Managers, design teams, and client stakeholders. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, approximately 50 hours per week including overtime. Outdoor work in all weather conditions and work within cleanroom environments are required. Occasional early starts, concrete-pour support, or weekend work may be required.

Requirements

Construction-site exposure through co-op programs, internships, field assignments, or similar practical experience; recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
Ability to read and interpret structural, civil, and architectural drawings and specifications.
Foundational knowledge of foundations, concrete construction, structural steel, cleanroom architecture, roofing systems, and underground utility infrastructure.
Understanding of third-party testing processes, including concrete cylinder testing, compaction testing, and bolt torque verification.
Familiarity with construction documentation processes, including submittals, RFIs, look-ahead planning, and issue tracking.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel.
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities and provide clear written status reporting.
Commitment to safety culture and willingness to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and within cleanroom environments.
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent technical education and relevant field experience may also be considered.
Proof of education, licenses, and certifications required where applicable.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Smartsheet, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC/BIM360), Procore, or Bluebeam.
Cleanroom construction exposure.
ACI Field Testing certification or similar inspection credentials.
Semiconductor, pharmaceutical, data center, or other mission-critical construction experience.

Responsibilities

Track CSA scope against the project schedule, including concrete pours, steel erection, building-envelope activities, major building milestones, and trade-partner progress.
Manage submittals, RFIs, and design-change follow-up among Project Managers, design teams, and trade partners.
Track inspection requests and issues through the project issues log to closure, including rebar and embed inspections, grade beams, waterproofing systems, underground utilities, and manholes.
Conduct daily field walks to monitor installation progress, excavation safety, work-at-height compliance, housekeeping, and quality observations.
Prepare weekly status reports, open-item logs, and action lists for Project Managers.
Support planning and coordination to keep CSA work packages on schedule and ready for quality review and turnover.
Execute QCx inspections and quality checks under the guidance of the CSA QCx Lead on foundations, concrete structures, structural steel, waffle slab systems, raised floors, cleanroom walls and ceilings, and roofing systems.
Review third-party testing results, including concrete cylinder breaks, soil compaction testing, and structural bolt torque verification, and track non-conformances through resolution.
Verify underground and site civil infrastructure, including stormwater, sanitary, and industrial waste systems and utility structures, against approved drawings and design specifications.
Generate, track, and close punch-list items and assist with compiling CSA turnover packages for Owner acceptance.
Support field verification, quality documentation, and turnover-readiness activities for completed CSA systems.
Coordinate with contractors, inspectors, testing agencies, and client stakeholders to support successful turnover of civil, structural, and architectural scope.
