  • Support steel erection by verifying the positioning, alignment, and accuracy of structural components.

  • Coordinate with other trades to maintain proper plumbness, orientation, and structural accuracy.

  • Assist with the installation of structural and miscellaneous metals, including stairs, shafts, and related steel components.

  • Use Trimble surveying tools, Bluebeam, CAD software, and Microsoft Office to support field documentation and project coordination.

  • Communicate survey findings and potential discrepancies to relevant team members.

  • Follow established safety procedures and promote safe work practices at all job sites.

  • At least 3 years of experience in field surveying or structural steel erection.

  • Experience with surveying slopes, grades, and layout for structural and miscellaneous metals.

  • Proficiency with a total station or comparable surveying equipment.

  • Understanding of AISC standards related to building alignment and orientation.

  • Ability to travel regularly to construction sites throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region.

  • Comfortable working at heights, including on aerial lifts and elevated steel floors.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate measurements.

  • Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate with field crews and other construction professionals.

  • Company vehicle and gas card for job-related travel.

  • Exposure to a variety of structural steel field projects across the Mid-Atlantic.

  • Ongoing training and professional support.

This is primarily a field-based position, with occasional visits to office or shop locations for meetings and training. Candidates should be prepared to work in active construction settings and travel between project sites as needed.
