Field Engineer

Description:

Role Summary

The Field Engineer provides technical support and engineering oversight across Destructable's active wind farm decommissioning and blade processing projects. Working closely with the Superintendent and Civil Superintendent, this role bridges the gap between office planning and field execution — managing project documentation, quantity tracking, quality control, and technical problem solving on the ground. The ideal candidate is an early-career engineer who is eager to get their hands dirty, thrives in a fast-paced field environment, and wants to grow with a company doing meaningful work.
