About this role
Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI. We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About This Role: Crusoe is seeking an Associate Construction Engineer to join our Project Execution team, supporting the field execution of large-scale power generation projects for AI data center infrastructure. This role works alongside and under the direction of a senior Construction Engineer, developing the field engineering skills, construction knowledge, and technical judgment required to independently own a project's field execution scope. You will be an active presence on construction sites — supporting inspection activities, managing field documentation, tracking RFIs and submittals, and building the cross-discipline construction knowledge that defines this career path. During construction and commissioning phases, this position requires significant site presence, requiring resident assignment. During engineering and procurement phases, site travel is limited to vendor and site visits. What You'll Be Working On: Field Engineering & Site Coordination: Support the field engineering team on active power generation construction sites, assisting with day-to-day inspection, documentation, and construction coordination activities under the direction of a senior Construction Engineer. Technical Submittals & RFI Management: Assist with the review of contractor and vendor submittals, RFIs, and Field Engineering Directives (FEDs); learn to coordinate engineering responses with the project engineering team. Execution Plan Review: Support the review of construction execution planning documents — including lift plans, flush plans, hydro plans, purge plans, and pre-commissioning procedures — developing technical judgment for acceptance criteria. Milestone & Schedule Tracking: Assist with tracking and documenting construction progress against the project schedule and milestones; maintain open items logs, punch list status, and change order tracking. Quality & Workmanship Inspections: Conduct field inspections of contractor workmanship and adherence to project specifications, drawings, and applicable codes; document findings and escalate non-conformances to the senior Construction Engineer. Turnover & Mechanical Completion Packages: Support the development and management of punch lists, mechanical completion packages, and system turnover packages under senior Construction Engineer direction. Commissioning & Startup Support: Assist with commissioning and startup activities, including supporting functional tests, loop checks, and performance verification activities. Field Documentation & As-Builts: Maintain daily field reports, inspection records, and project documentation; capture as-built redlines and field changes for incorporation into the record document set. Permitting & HSE Compliance: Coordinate work permit tracking and support site safety program compliance in
