Project Engineer

Project Engineer Opportunity

This isn't just another seat at a desk. This is a chance to step into a role where your fingerprints will be on major infrastructure—bridges, highways, and heavy civil projects that shape how people move. We're looking for a Project Engineer who wants more than a paycheck: better compensation, real project exposure, and a clear path to Project Manager. If you've been doing the work but want the recognition and the track, this is your conversation.

You'll be the connective tissue between the field and the office on active heavy civil, roadway, and bridge projects in the Charlotte area. You'll work alongside project managers and superintendents, making sure the details don't slip—and that the big picture stays on track.

Here's what you'll own:

• Manage RFIs, submittals, drawings, transmittals, and all project documentation—keeping the paper trail clean and the team informed.
• Track cost, quantities, production, materials, equipment, and schedule updates. You'll be the one who spots a trend before it becomes a problem.
• Assist with forecasts, cost reports, change orders, and project controls. You'll help keep the budget honest.
• Communicate daily with owners, subcontractors, vendors, field teams, and project leadership. You're the hub.
• Review drawings, specifications, and contract documents—catching issues early, not after they cost time or money.
• Support safety, quality, and contract compliance. You don't just check boxes; you understand why each one matters.

What you bring:

• 5+ years of engineering experience on heavy civil, highway, road, bridge, or infrastructure projects. You've been in the dirt and know the rhythm.
• Experience on projects valued around $25M+ is preferred. You've handled scale.
• Strong RFI, submittal, documentation, cost tracking, and schedule exposure. You don't just process—you problem-solve.
• Ability to read plans, specs, and contract documents like a second language.
• Solid Excel, Word, communication, and organizational skills. You keep your head when the pace picks up.
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field is preferred.
• NCDOT or regional DOT experience? That's a plus—you already know the language.

Why this role is worth your time:

• Compensation: $110,000 – $130,000 per year, based on experience.
• Bonus opportunity on top of base.
• Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off.
• Company-paid short-term and long-term disability.
• Relocation and interview expenses covered.
• A real career track to Project Manager—not just more paperwork.
• This is heavy civil work with substance. You'll build things that last, and you'll build a career that does too. Let's talk.
