Project Engineer

Ryan Companies

Project Engineer Opportunity

Ryan Companies US, Inc. has an immediate career opportunity for a Project Engineer to join our team! The Project Engineer assists the project team in the completion of designated projects with a focus on learning Ryan processes, procedures and business policies. The position objective is to educate the employee in field and office operations while working from a construction project site for a minimum of six months and preferably for the duration of an entire construction project.

Do you enjoy working in a fast, fun, inclusive and collaborative workspace? Do you want the next chapter of your career to be with an industry leader in commercial building services? If this describes you, we encourage you to apply today.

To be successful in this role, you must have a solid foundation in estimating techniques, cost control, and material pricing. A bachelor's degree in construction engineering, construction management, or a related field is preferred (or an associate degree/equivalent certificate with at least 2 years of industry experience). You must be able to perform mathematical calculations, interpret architectural and engineering drawings, and understand purchase orders, contracts, and financial management systems. Excellent communication skills, personal responsibility, and the ability to interface effectively with diverse teams are essential.

What You Can Expect To Do:

  • RFIs & Documentation: Help generate Requests For Information (RFIs), track approvals, and keep office and jobsite plans updated with RFIs and ASIs.
  • Shop Drawings: Monitor and maintain the shop drawing log and coordinate approvals. Learn project dimensional control requirements while field-verifying dimensions.
  • Quality & Safety: Complete thorough drawing reviews utilizing Ryan checklists. Assist the Project Manager and Superintendent in creating and executing the Project Specific Quality Plan (PSQP) and learn Ryan Safety Policies and Procedures.
  • Logistics & Deliveries: Assist in coordinating and tracking vendor and subcontractor deliveries while gaining a strong understanding of overall site logistics.
  • Permits & Inspections: Participate in and gain an understanding of the city and jurisdictional permit inspection process. Accompany Ryan personnel and Owners on punch list inspections, record items, and monitor completion.
  • Meetings & Scheduling: Prepare agendas and minutes for weekly construction meetings and take an active role. Participate in preparing, updating, and milestone-tracking the project schedule.
  • Procurement & Estimating: Support project procurement by developing subcontractor RFP bid forms and evaluation spreadsheets. Support the estimating process, learn take-off software, and perform unit cost analyses.
  • Perform additional assignments to support the Superintendent and Project Manager as directed.

You Will Really Stand Out If You Have:

  • Previous internship experience in commercial construction.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard estimating, take-off, or scheduling software.
  • A willingness to travel or relocate as needed to support regional projects.
  • A proactive drive to lead selective bid solicitation calls and manage bid lists.

Compensation:

The base rate may vary within the anticipated range based on factors such as the ultimate location of the position and the selected candidate's knowledge, skills and abilities.

Eligibility:

Position requires verification of employment to work in the U.S.

Benefits:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits
  • Retirement and Savings Benefits
  • Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts
  • Life Insurance
  • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
  • Educational Assistance
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Employee Assistance and Wellness Programs
  • Parenting Benefits
  • Employee Discount Programs
  • Pet insurance
  • Ryan Foundation – charitable matching funds
  • Paid Time for Volunteer Events

Disclaimer: Eligibility may vary based on factors such as role, hours worked, employment status, length of service, location, and other considerations. Detailed information will be shared with eligible candidates during the hiring process, and the official terms and conditions will be outlined in each individual offer document.

Ryan Companies is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
