Job Description

Description:

Jaxon is looking for a Construction Project Engineer to join our team in Colorado Springs, CO.

Jaxon is the leading full-service provider of High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) services worldwide, delivering world-class engineering, testing, construction, and sustainment services. Jaxon offers an outstanding benefits package, competitive pay, and a culture that is unmatched. We collaborate and thrive on our core value of ownership. In both success and failure, we push to get better individually and as a team.

Salary: $80,000-$95,000

Schedule: Full-Time

Travel Requirement: While this role is primarily a position located in Colorado Springs, a Construction Project Engineer should be prepared to travel as needed. Travel expenses are paid by the company. 

Security Clearance Requirement: This role requires the ability and willingness to obtain a Department of Defense Top-Secret Security Clearance.

Benefits:

• Life insurance at 2.5 times annual base salary provided
• Excellent medical, dental and vision insurance 
• Short- and long-term disability insurance provided
• PTO and paid holidays 
• 401(k) match (up to 4% of salary)

The Jaxon Experience:

• Jaxon Kitchen Fridays, our end-of-week tradition where the team gathers for good food, good company, and a chance to unwind the work week together.  
• Annual Golf Tournament that brings out everyone’s competitive spirit; pros, rookies, and “I’m just here for the cart snacks” people alike.  
• A Christmas event like no other, legendary for a reason; traditions, surprises and the kind of magic only Jaxon can pull off. AND a Kids’ Christmas Celebration that brings out the joy, the crafts, and the wide-eyed wonder of the season. 
• Super Bowl Party because friendly rivalry, good food, and loud cheering are practically part of our job description. And of course, the day after the super bowl is a company paid holiday, because we believe in recovery, rest, and reliving the best plays and commercials.   

All the good times we talk about are here to build connection, not obligations. Participation is always optional, because ownership includes owning your time and your comfort level. Nothing in this section is meant to create a contractual benefit, just a glimpse into the way we show up for each other and make Jaxon more than a place to work!

Primary Duties:

• Prepare, review, and deliver project submittals, customer deliverables, and other required documentation on time.
• Maintain project logs, trackers, and records, including procurement, RFIs, change management, and status reporting.
• Monitor project progress, identify issues or risks, escalate concerns, and recommend solutions to support successful outcomes.

• Uphold company quality standards, policies, and professional reputation while supporting additional project needs and continuous improvement efforts.
• Maintain schedules, scopes, and objectives for active and anticipated projects.

Required Job Qualifications:

Who We’re Looking For:

• You’re someone who brings solid project engineering know-how and attention to detail to every part of the job. Managing documents, keeping projects on task, and staying on top of customer requests should all come naturally to you.
• You lead with calm, clear communication and a problem-solving mindset. Whether you’re coordinating with different teams or handling an unexpected situation, people know they can rely on you.
• You’re organized, thorough, and comfortable managing sensitive information. You keep accurate records, handle RFIs confidently, and ensure deliverables are completed on time and done right.
• You’re proactive about identifying customer needs.
• You adapt easily when priorities shift. You keep things moving without losing sight of compliance or quality.
