Do you want a hands-on technical role on a mission-critical, federally secured construction program? PTS Data Center Solutions, Inc. is seeking a Project Engineer to support the SWIC/WUC construction program at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. The program is executed as a single, integrated project in the field, while being tracked as two separate projects — SWIC and WUC. Scope includes ground-up new building construction and large-scale utility infrastructure work on an active, secured federal laboratory campus. You will own submittal review, RFI coordination, BIM/MEP clash resolution, and document control, working closely with the Superintendent and Project Manager to ensure design intent is preserved in the field and that procurement, fabrication, and installation are technically aligned.

Maintain drawing and specification control: current sets, addenda, ASIs, bulletins, and as-built markups. Support cost estimating at design milestones with quantity takeoffs and trade input. Support buyout: scope sheets, bid tabulations, technical scope reviews, and subcontract exhibit preparation. Coordinate 3rd-party testing and inspection submittals across both building and utility infrastructure scopes; track inspection reports and non-conformance reports (NCRs) to closure. Compile and maintain commissioning documentation, equipment cut sheets, O&M manuals, warranties, training records, and record drawings. Track long-lead equipment and materials from PO release through fabrication, shipping, and delivery; flag schedule risks.
