Project Engineer

The Burt Group

We build fast, we build right, and we take care of our people! The Burt Group is looking for an organized, proactive Project Engineer to join a high-performing team where you’ll play an essential role in keeping projects moving and teams aligned from kickoff to closeout.

This is a role for someone who is detail-oriented, collaborative, and ready to be in the middle of the action. You’ll work closely with our Project Managers and Superintendents to coordinate day-to-day operations, maintain tight document control, and ensure our projects are delivered successfully from beginning to end.

What you’ll be doing

Project Operations & Coordination : Assist with project start-up and closeout procedures, permit procurement, utility setups, and daily subcontractor scheduling and deliveries.

Document Control & Communication: Manage submittals, RFIs, and plan revisions in Procore; track material lead times; update project directories; and keep field teams fully equipped with accurate plans and specifications.

Financial & Contract Support: Support the Project Manager with owner/subcontractor change orders, change order logs, contingency tracking, and reviewing subcontractor invoices and monthly pay applications in Sage 100.

Meeting & Site Support: Attend all project kick-off, trade partner, and safety meetings; track meeting minutes; support quality control efforts alongside the Superintendent; and participate in final punch walks to drive items to completion.

What we’re looking for
  • 2–3 years of experience in the commercial construction industry
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Construction Science, or equivalent experience preferred
  • Strong organizational and multi-tasking skills with the ability to manage competing priorities on active job sites
  • Clear oral and written communication skills across internal teams, clients, design teams, and trade partners
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office/365, Procore, and Sage 100
Why The Burt Group
  • A clear path to growth, mentorship, and advancement toward an Assistant Project Manager or Project Manager role
  • Direct learning from experienced senior leaders, project managers, and builders
  • Good energy—the kind of place where people genuinely enjoy showing up
  • A one-team culture that is collaborative, grounded, and non-political
  • We show up for our clients and we show up for each other—that is how we operate
  • If you are ready to grow your career with a team that invests in you, we would love to hear from you.
