Field Engineer III

Worley•Baytown, TX

About The Position

The Mechanical Field Engineer III provides advanced mechanical field engineering support throughout the construction phase of industrial projects. The position serves as a technical interface between engineering design and field execution, helping ensure construction teams have timely, technically sound solutions that maintain design integrity and support project objectives. Working at the project site, the engineer interprets engineering documentation, evaluates field conditions, coordinates field changes, resolves construction-related technical issues, and verifies completed work against design requirements. The role supports safe, efficient, high-quality installation and completion of mechanical systems and equipment, as well as turnover and commissioning readiness. The engineer collaborates with construction, engineering, quality, procurement, commissioning, contractors, vendors, and customer stakeholders. The position also provides technical guidance to project personnel and contributes to constructability, installation quality, schedule performance, system completion, and continuous improvement.
