PROJECT ENGINEER, COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

This is a mid-level project engineer seat with a specialty subcontractor, so you get to go deep in one trade instead of chasing a dozen subs you dont control. The firm is mid-sized with a strong backlog, and people here get mentored and moved up.

- Walk the site with the superintendent and write down coordination issues before they turn into rework
- Track procurement so materials show up when the crew needs them
- Help set up new jobs, plan site logistics and pull together closeout packages
- Call vendors and other trades early when something in the drawings doesnt add up
-----Required Skills
- Project engineering or project coordination experience on the GC side or with a specialty subcontractor
- Hands-on work with submittals, RFIs or change orders
- Drawing and spec reading, with a working grasp of building materials and methods
- Quantity takeoff experience
