Entry-Level Field Construction Careers

Learn by Doing

The best way to learn this work is by doing it. Entry-level field construction team members work on small crews installing geotechnical systems and supporting projects across the country. You’ll learn how to:

• Operate specialized construction equipment
• Install soil nails, anchors, and stabilization systems
• Work safely on steep slopes and challenging terrain
• Use tools and machinery used in geotechnical construction
• Work as part of a tight-knit field crew

“However fast you want to learn and your capabilities to learn and your capabilities to take on more responsibility. You can grow yourself and it's all on you. It's an opportunity at the heart - you know, you put in hard work and you get rewarded for it in different ways. It's a good feeling, you know, there's opportunities and growth and that everyone around you is learning too.

Small Crews. Strong Teams.

Field crews typically consist of four to five people working closely together to complete complex projects. Because crews are small, everyone plays an important role in getting the job done safely and successfully. You spend a lot of time with your crew on the road, learning from experienced teammates and building strong working relationships along the way. Many employees say their crew becomes like a second family.

“Once you actually develop a rhythm with the crew that you're a part of, you actually do become more like family than anything else - everything just kind of starts to fall in place with how things get done.”
