Position Summary

The Project Engineer supports the successful execution of civil construction projects by assisting the Estimating Team, Project Manager, Superintendent, and field teams. The Project Engineer acts as a critical link between the office and the field, coordinating technical information, documentation, schedule updates, and communications.

Key Responsibilities
  • Assist the Project Manager with ongoing changes, issues, and project needs throughout the job lifecycle, ensuring alignment on schedules, scope, and project challenges.
  • Collaborate with the Project Manager and the Superintendent to maintain the project schedule, including the overall schedule and the three‑week schedule on a weekly basis.

  • Assist with preparing, tracking, and reconciling change orders and contract true‑ups throughout the project.
  • Manage the submittal process—compile, prepare, submit, track, and ensure approval in a timely manner.
  • Manage the RFI process—work with the Project Manager to prepare and submit RFIs, track, and ensure timely closure.
  • Assist with material sourcing and procurement in coordination with the Project Manager and Estimator.
  • Support One‑Call updates and dig permit coordination to ensure safe field operations.
Technical & Engineering Support
  • Manage GPS topos—including pre‑construction, progress, and as‑built surveys.
  • Compare GPS models (provided vs. actuals) to calculate and verify quantities.
  • Compile survey data and process it into usable information for project tracking and verification.
  • Maintain FAA Part 107 Drone License and conduct UAV operations as required.
  • Support layout, surveying, and quantity take‑offs for materials.
  • Maintain project logs (quantity tracker, submittal logs, RFI logs, etc.).
  • Assist with progress meetings, preparing agendas, meeting minutes, and follow‑up action items.
Qualifications
  • 1–3 years of experience in civil construction (internship experience may be considered).
  • Strong understanding of civil construction methods, materials, and standards.
  • Proficiency in Magnet/Topcon Office and construction management software (Procore, Acumatica, Primavera P6, MS Project, Microsoft 365, or similar) preferred but not required.
  • FAA Part 107 Drone License (required or ability to obtain within 6 months).
  • Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • Must be able to travel full‑time.
