Ready to turn construction experience into a career in project leadership?
At R-2 Contractors, your next role should build more than your résumé. We’re seeking a motivated Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager who wants to contribute on real projects, sharpen their skills, take ownership, and grow with a nationwide contractor delivering critical power infrastructure.
Why build your future with R-2?

• Gain hands-on experience across utility-scale power, heavy civil, underground, and structural construction.
• Learn alongside Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams while contributing to daily project decisions.
• Build skills in planning, scheduling, procurement, cost tracking, and project coordination.
• Make an impact by spotting problems early, offering solutions, and following through on commitments.
• Earn greater responsibility and opportunities for advancement as your capabilities and results grow.

Bring initiative and a solid foundation. We’ll help you grow.
You don’t need to be a fully developed Project Manager on day one. You do need construction fundamentals, organization, clear communication, and the drive to learn. We’ll teach you R-2’s systems and processes while giving you meaningful responsibilities—not just a seat on the sidelines.
What you bring

• Construction field or project coordination experience; two or more years preferred.
• Ability to read plans and specifications and support RFIs, submittals, and project documentation.
• Interest in schedules, quantity tracking, materials, costs, and the details that keep projects moving.
• A proactive, dependable approach to working with field leadership, vendors, and project teams.
• Willingness to work on active jobsites and travel; a related degree is valued, but equivalent experience counts.

A career with room to grow
This role can be a pathway to Project Manager and broader leadership opportunities. You’ll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle and develop the judgment to take on increasingly complex work. Advancement is earned through performance, initiative, accountability, and available opportunities—not promised by tenure alone.
Our culture: PRIDE. GRIT. OWN IT!
We do what’s right, give our best, accept responsibility, and refuse to settle for mediocrity. We value hungry, humble, smart teammates who support each other, solve problems, and want to leave the company stronger than they found it.
Your next chapter starts here.
If you’re ready to put your construction knowledge to work, learn from experienced leaders, and take meaningful steps toward project management, there’s room to build your future at R-2.
Bring your drive. Build your skills. Let’s build something great together.
