Job description: Senior Construction Engineering Technician
Requisition Number: 2023-1630-10
S&ME is a reputable and thriving, 100% employee-owned, multi-disciplined civil engineering firm, offering civil, geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing and inspection services since 1973. We are proud employee-owners tenaciously working together to solve our clients’ most complex challenges.

We are currently seeking a full-time Senior Engineering Technician to join our Construction Services team in Myrtle Beach, North Carolina.
Job Snapshot:
As a Senior Engineering Technician, you will make a difference! The field testing and observations of construction materials you perform each day help ensure compliance with industry standards and project specifications. You will see construction projects from beginning to end, documenting the successful placement and use of soil, concrete, rebar, asphalt, aggregate, and other building materials. It is our job to make sure it is “built right”, and at S&ME we take that responsibility very seriously. Join us and become part of the team that makes construction a success.
Complete transparency, working outside (most of the time) isn’t for everyone, and some projects are more spectacular than others. However, as you advance in your career, you will see more and more projects where you can say, “I helped them build that.”
Responsibilities can include:
- Reviewing plans and specifications in preparation for field observations on construction sites
- Documenting field activities, observations, and testing results on projects

- Ability to mentor less experienced construction staff and interns
- Ability to train and coach less-experienced construction staff in testing and observation procedures
- Coordination and direction of others on projects requiring multiple construction staff
- Assisting project manager with plan and specification review for proposal preparation, project assignments, and training
- Serve as a Special Inspection agent, based on certifications and local IBC requirements
- Assisting project manager with resolutions for deviations from project plans and specifications
Required Qualifications:
- High School diploma/GED
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in construction testing/inspections of soil, concrete, masonry, and/or asphalt materials
- Two or More Active Certification(s):
- American Concrete Institute (ACI): Field Testing Grade I; Strength Testing Technician; Laboratory Technician
- NICET: Construction Materials Testing (Asphalt, Concrete, Soils)
- International Code Council (ICC): Special Inspector (Reinforced Concrete, Masonry, Soils)
