Asset Management Field Engineer
Position Summary
The Asset Management Field Engineer is a salaried, exempt professional role dedicated to executing field-based asset management practices across a nationwide portfolio of facilities. This position is travel-intensive (90%), requiring frequent on-site presence at facilities throughout the continental U.S.
The Field Engineer’s primary responsibilities include conducting detailed condition assessments, asset criticality assessments, and reliability-driven evaluations, ensuring consistent application of ISO 55000 principles, Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) frameworks, and risk-based prioritization.
By gathering, validating, and standardizing asset data, the Field Engineer plays a critical role in providing the inputs that drive lifecycle planning, capital forecasting, and reliability strategy development. This position reports directly to the Asset Management & Reliability Manager, supporting the organization’s broader asset management governance model.
Key Responsibilities
Asset Evaluation & Condition Assessments
- Execute structured condition assessments on mechanical, electrical, structural, and process assets, using standardized rating scales.
- Collect detailed data including asset age, operating history, failure modes, and observed deficiencies.
- Document deterioration patterns, safety hazards, and compliance risks that affect lifecycle planning.
- Apply RCM thinking during inspections, identifying potential functional failures and recommending optimized maintenance strategies.
- Ensure data quality by validating asset tag numbers, hierarchy accuracy, and completeness in the CMMS.
Criticality & Risk Assessments
- Conduct criticality analyses that evaluate the consequences of failure across multiple dimensions: safety, environmental impact, compliance, operational continuity, and financial exposure.
- Use structured risk matrices and business-criticality ranking tools to classify assets and prioritize attention.
- Collaborate with operations teams to validate operating context and understand the impact of asset downtime.
- Provide inputs that directly support risk-based maintenance programs, redundancy planning, and capital investment prioritization.
Asset Management Execution & Lifecycle Planning Support
- Apply internationally recognized Asset Management standards (ISO 55000, IAM practices) in the field.
- Ensure assessment results tie directly to lifecycle planning, including renewal forecasts, capital replacement schedules, and preventive maintenance optimization.
- Support the creation of a single source of truth by consistently updating the CMMS/EAM platform with verified data.
- Identify opportunities for standardization across facilities (e.g., consistent condition scoring, uniform PM intervals, and criticality ranking frameworks).
- Provide input to cost-benefit analysis for asset repair vs. replace decisions.
Collaboration & Reporting
- Partner with facility managers, maintenance teams, and regional leadership during site visits to ensure assessments are accurate and contextually valid.
- Produce professional, data-driven reports summarizing findings, risk profiles, and recommendations.
- Translate technical results into business terms that support decision-making by non-technical stakeholders.
- Present findings to the Asset Management & Reliability Manager, ensuring results align with portfolio-wide strategies.
- Share site-level insights to inform RCA investigations, capital planning, and corporate reliability initiatives.
Travel & Portfolio Coordination
- Travel 75–90% of the time across the continental U.S., covering diverse facilities of varying scale, condition, and operational criticality.
- Serve as the on-site representative of the Asset Management function, ensuring adherence to corporate standards.
- Coordinate assessment schedules with the Asset Management & Reliability Manager to maximize coverage and minimize disruption to operations.
- Ensure that field work is completed efficiently, safely, and with minimal operational impact.
- Maintain flexibility to respond quickly to high-priority sites, compliance concerns, or emerging reliability risks.
Qualifications
Required

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Field Engineer
Verify your credentials match specialty occupation standards
H-2B visa field engineer roles often require documented technical training or a degree in engineering or a related field. Pull your O*NET occupation profile for this role to confirm which credentials employers must justify in their DOL labor certification filing.
Target employers with active temporary project pipelines
Utilities contractors, environmental remediation firms, and infrastructure maintenance companies hire field engineers seasonally for fixed-term projects. Focus your search on employers who have a defined project end date, since the H-2B requires a specific temporary need tied to the job.
Search verified H-2B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to find field engineer employers with documented H-2B sponsorship history. Filtering by visa type saves you from contacting employers who've never filed, which is the most common time sink for seasonal workers in technical roles.
Ask employers about their DOL filing timeline upfront
The H-2B cap splits into two halves each fiscal year, and petitions for the summer half often hit the limit within days of opening. Confirm your prospective employer plans to file in the correct half for your project start date before accepting an offer.
Collect site-specific work documentation before applying
Field engineer roles require proof of prior site experience, safety certifications like OSHA-10 or OSHA-30, and equipment competencies. Employers submitting your H-2B petition must document your qualifications in the labor certification, so assembling these records before outreach speeds the process.
Confirm the employer's prevailing wage compliance before signing
DOL requires H-2B employers to pay the prevailing wage for your occupation and work location. Cross-check the offered wage against the OFLC Wage Search for the relevant SOC code and county before signing any offer, since underpayment can jeopardize your petition.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find field engineer jobs with H-2B visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It filters job listings by visa sponsorship type, so you can find field engineer roles where the employer has an actual H-2B filing history rather than sifting through postings that never address sponsorship. Start there and focus on employers in construction, utilities, and environmental services, where seasonal field engineer demand is highest.
How does the H-2B annual cap affect field engineer job seekers?
USCIS allocates 66,000 H-2B visas each fiscal year, split into two 33,000-slot halves for workers starting before or after April 1. Demand in technical fields means petitions filed for popular start dates can hit the cap within days of the filing window opening. If your employer misses the cap, your start date shifts by a full half-year, so confirming early filing is part of any serious offer negotiation.
Can a field engineer role qualify as a temporary H-2B position if the work seems ongoing?
Yes, as long as the employer can demonstrate the need is genuinely temporary. DOL accepts four types of need: seasonal, peak load, intermittent, or one-time occurrence. A construction contractor hiring field engineers for a specific infrastructure project with a defined end date fits the one-time occurrence category even if the company employs engineers year-round for different projects.
What documents should I have ready before an employer starts the H-2B filing process?
Your employer will need your full name and nationality for the I-129 petition, but you should also prepare your engineering credentials, OSHA certifications, prior site safety training records, and any licenses required for the work location. Having these organized before the labor certification is submitted avoids delays during USCIS adjudication, which can otherwise push your start date past the project window.
