The Steelwork Field Engineer is the field authority on Dematic steelwork standards and the knowledgeable point of contact and escalation for subcontractors and site supervisors working on behalf of Dematic in steelwork and its interface with Dematic’s material handling equipment.

Steelwork Field Engineers monitor the progress of projects and ensure compliance with EHS regulations promoting and improving awareness, acting as a positive role model for site safety, a One Dematic culture, and right first-time steelwork installation. The Steelwork Field Engineer’s responsibilities include retaining a detailed understanding of the six-week installation schedule forecast for their area of expertise as directed by the Site Manager, a firm grasp of the inter-relationship between the 6WIS and the weekly work plan and how there is an onus on the Steelwork Field Engineer to positively influence the consistent attainment of targets associated with subcontractor progress. A Steelwork Field Engineer should also be able to accurately anticipate and mitigate impacts to the schedule to prevent slippage working collaboratively with the wider site/ project team. The Steelwork Field Engineer should also be capable of influencing and engaging a small team of supervisors on a project to make sure that the Site Manager enjoys specialist support, and that each steelwork area of the project is comprehensively under Dematic’s control and working in a way that is fully aligned with Dematic’s EMEA installation strategy.
