Who You’ll Be Working For

At Gregory Construction, we’re a team that takes pride in doing things the right way. We’ve built a strong reputation across civil, industrial, and mission critical projects by putting in honest work and delivering quality results.

We use the latest technology in the field—including GPS and machine control systems—to improve accuracy, efficiency, and safety on our job sites. At the end of the day, we’re still a boots-on-the-ground company that values hard work, teamwork, and looking out for each other. Our core values—Safety, Integrity, Excellence, Determination and Communication—aren’t just words, they’re how we run every job.

If you’re someone who understands both the field and technology side of construction and likes solving problems, you’ll fit right in here.

  • Train crews on machine control systems and best practices
  • Track and manage machine control files, models, and version control
  • Coordinate with survey and modeling teams to ensure accurate, usable data
  • Monitor equipment performance and identify opportunities to improve production
  • Work with vendors (Topcon, Komatsu, Trimble) to resolve technical issues
  • Support field surveying operations as needed
  • Read and interpret blueprints, models, and technical documents
  • Promote safe use of technology to improve jobsite safety and reduce rework

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–3 years of experience with machine control, GPS, or construction technology
  • Experience with systems like Topcon and Komatsu required (Trimble preferred)
  • Strong understanding of construction operations and jobsite workflows
  • Comfortable troubleshooting issues in the field and working independently
  • Willingness to travel to job sites as needed
  • Strong communication skills and ability to train field personnel
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and problem-solving skills
  • Basic computer proficiency required

What You’ll Get

  • Full-time, steady work
  • PTO, health, and dental insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Opportunities to work with advanced construction technology
  • Training, development, and opportunities to grow within the company
