The office is an open and collaborative space where work is performed both independently and with the team. When at the plant, the environment is that of a traditional manufacturing environment, with higher noise levels and frequent movement of people and equipment. When on-site, it's a typical construction environment, often in high-voltage exposed areas like 12kV through 230kV substations, which may be in fairly remote rural locations, and where extreme weather conditions may be encountered.Reporting StructureThis position reports to the Senior Design Manager.Career AdvancementCareer advancement at Construction Innovations is possible for all positions, but is not guaranteed.
