October is Careers in Construction Month, and at Southland we’re proud to recognize the talented professionals who bring our projects to life. We know our success is built by our people. Their expertise, leadership, and commitment to safety and quality ensure our projects run smoothly from start to finish. From planning to completion, every role in construction is essential to turning ideas into infrastructure. However, Careers in Construction month is also to find and celebrate the next generation of Builders, and we are proud to have plenty of opportunities for them.  

Key Jobs 

Project Engineers are the problem-solvers and planners who bridge the gap between design and construction. They manage schedules, coordinate with teams, and ensure that the work being built matches the vision on paper. Their attention to detail and leadership help keep projects on track and moving forward. 

Field Engineers are on the front lines of construction. They work side by side with our crews to provide technical support, resolve challenges in real time, and make sure the work in the field is done right. Their presence on site ensures accuracy, efficiency, and innovation at every stage of the build. 

Estimators are the strategic thinkers behind every project award. They dig into the details, analyzing costs, materials, and methods to create competitive bids. Their expertise helps us win projects that shape the future of our communities and ensures that our resources are put to the best use. 

And at the heart of every project is our Safety team. These professionals set the standard for jobsite safety, train our teams, and foster a culture where protecting people always comes first. Their leadership ensures that everyone goes home safe at the end of the day and that safety remains our highest priority. 

At Southland, careers in construction are more than just jobs. They’re opportunities to build something that lasts, to grow professionally, and to leave a legacy of infrastructure that serves generations. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for your next step, the construction industry offers a pathway to meaningful, impactful work. 

This month, we celebrate all who chose construction as their career and we encourage the next generation of builders, engineers, estimators, and safety professionals to join us in building the future. Check out our Careers page for more information on all of our jobs!
