Associate Construction Engineer - Power Infrastructure

Role description

Role Overview

Join Crusoe's Project Execution team as an Associate Construction Engineer, supporting the field execution of large-scale power generation projects for AI data center infrastructure. This role works alongside and under the direction of a senior Construction Engineer, developing field engineering skills, construction knowledge, and technical judgment required to independently own a project's field execution scope.

What You Will Do

Support field engineering team on active power generation construction sites, assist with day-to-day inspection, documentation, and construction coordination activities, review contractor and vendor submittals, RFIs, and Field Engineering Directives, and assist with tracking and documenting construction progress against the project schedule and milestones.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role requires problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved. You will be an active presence on construction sites, supporting inspection activities, managing field documentation, tracking RFIs and submittals, and building the cross-discipline construction knowledge that defines this career path.
