fieldman

On-site company agent

A fieldman is someone who works in the field rather than an office—conducting inspections, gathering data, or performing hands-on tasks at various sites.

The term appears in agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, and insurance, where fieldmen visit locations to assess conditions or maintain equipment: The fieldman checked the pumping stations along the pipeline.

Also spelled as two words: field man.
