Finding a match for your talents and interests

Clark’s size and range of services and project types mean we offer the potential employee a variety of career opportunities and paths. Our consistent ranking as one of the top 10 general building contractors in the nation means new hires are working among and learning from the best construction professionals in the country.

Some of our career positions include:

Office Engineer

Office Engineers participate in the Professional Development Rotation Program to gain hands-on exposure to field and project management operations during all phases of construction. From budgeting and schedule to financial management and client service, Office Engineers gain valuable experience learning how to build a project from start to finish. Our Office Engineers also perform essential project management tasks such as updating the schedule, processing submittals, participating in procurement, and coordinating subcontractors. This position is a stepping stone for a career in either project management or field operations. Qualifications include a bachelor's degree in construction, architecture, engineering, or a related field.

Project Manager

Our Project Managers are the point-people in charge of the business aspects of our construction projects. This involves supervising contract activities on a particular jobsite, communicating with the owner and architect, and managing finance, procurement, budgeting, and schedule for the project. Qualifications include a bachelor's degree in construction, architecture, engineering, or a related field and five years of applicable experience.

Field Engineer

Our Field Engineers lay the groundwork for all of our projects and coordinate the "nuts and bolts" of work on site. Responsibilities include performing layout for the building and site, reading drawings, completing computations, and coordinating subcontractor work on jobsites. A high school diploma or equivalent construction experience is preferred.

Assistant Superintendent

Our Assistant Superintendents coordinate field operations for specific areas and/or specific self-performed and subcontracted trades on a project. Assistant Superintendents ensure that construction work is completed according to a project’s planned sequence and schedule, and implement and enforce pertinent safety and quality control procedures. Qualifications include five years of field supervisory experience constructing major commercial and/or institutional projects.

Superintendent

Our Superintendents oversee all field operations on a project to ensure that self-performed and subcontracted trade work is in compliance with contract documents and the project schedule. Superintendents also implement and enforce safety and quality control policies among Clark employees and subcontractors. Qualifications include eight years of experience constructing major commercial and/or institutional projects.

Safety Representative

Our Safety Representatives work to ensure the safety of employees, subcontractors, and the general public on all of our projects. This involves enforcing Clark's Safety and Health Policy as well as local and federal safety standards on jobsites. In addition, Safety Representatives conduct training for project employees and consult with project supervisors to develop safe work plans for all project phases and tasks. Qualifications include a bachelor's degree in construction, engineering, or a related field and two years of applicable experience.

Estimator

Estimators review project drawings and work with subcontractors and suppliers to develop accurate projections of project costs including materials, manpower, and equipment. Qualifications include the ability to read construction drawings and interpret project specifications. A bachelor's degree in construction, architecture, engineering, or a related field is preferred.
