Project Engineer

EOE Statement We are an equal employment opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law. Project Engineer Role Definition The Project Engineer plays a critical role in supporting the successful delivery of construction projects by managing Requests for Information (RFIs), coordinating procurement of equipment and materials, overseeing documents management, and tracking and resolving project constraints. Serving as a technical resource, the Project Engineer ensures that all work aligns with contract documents, specifications, and industry standards. Acting as a bridge between the office, design team, and field operations, this role enables accurate communication, timely decision-making, and efficient problem solving, while contributing to the project's safety, quality, schedule, and cost objectives. Travel is required depending on location; office work requires 25% travel, field work requires 100% travel. Responsibilities Request for Information (RFI) Log and track RFIs with submission dates, responsible parties, due dates, responses, and status. Ensure completeness and clarity of RFIs. Route each RFI to the appropriate party for resolution and clarify roles and accountability for timely responses. Monitor response timeframes and communicate, document, and implement responses. Verify that answers are correctly integrated into construction documents and drawings for field execution. Notify the Project Manager of any responses that may contain out‑of‑scope work. Procurement Review project schedules, drawings, and specifications to determine required materials, timing, and quantities. Create and maintain a comprehensive procurement log. Anticipate lead times and align procurement with project milestones to avoid delays. Develop and maintain the submittal log, including due dates, responsible parties, and approval timelines. Review submittals for completeness, accuracy, and constructability before forwarding them to the designer, engineer, or owner. Coordinate routing and approvals of submittals and manage the timelines. Escalate overdue submittals that may impact schedule or procurement. Communicate and document approved submittals. Ensure that delivered materials match specifications, quality standards, and quantities. Document Management Organize and control project documents including drawings, specifications, as‑built, shop drawings, field drawings, RFIs, inspection reports, etc. Route new or revised documents to all relevant stakeholders promptly. Maintain security of documents to comply with non‑disclosure agreements. Ensure that all documents are updated to the latest version, RFIs are posted to the drawings, and approved submittals are easily accessible. Verify that record documents are maintained throughout the project. Ensure that meeting minutes are documented for all project meetings. Constraint Management Work with the project team, subcontractors, and suppliers to surface potential roadblocks (tools, information, material, manpower, equipment, safety, space). Create and maintain the project constraint log, clearly documenting who is responsible for resolving each constraint and by when. Track open items and push for resolution before they impact the schedule. Escalate high‑risk constraints quickly and develop mitigation plans. Share updates regularly with the project team. Ensure field crews and last planners know which tasks are ready to proceed and which are still blocked. Project Technical Expertise Establish and maintain a deep understanding of the project, including drawings, specifications, models, codes, details, equipment, systems, and materials. Provide support for problem solving in the field; advise the site team and subcontractors when unforeseen conditions, constructability challenges, or clashes occur. Recommend practical and technically sound solutions. Coordinate between design and construction teams, acting as the bridge between designers, engineers, and field teams. Translate design intent into executable construction methods to ensure constructability. Drive quality and continuous improvement; implement best practices and lessons learned. Mentor teams to raise technical competency and prevent recurring issues. Education and Qualifications Bachelor's degree in a related science field such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Engineering, or Construction Management. Certification or completion of a Professional Engineer License (P.Eng), Certified Professional Engineer (PE), Fundamentals of Engineering (FE), Engineer in Training (EIT), Principles and Practice of Engineering, or Lean qualifications; willingness to obtain additional certifications is preferred. Working knowledge of basic computer programs in a Windows operating system, Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook), and online collaboration tools. Proficiency in Autodesk/Plant Design Suite products and R. E. V. I. S. H. A. T. O. R. - to be sensible; preferred knowledge of Revit, AutoCAD, Inventor, Navisworks, and Bluebeam Revu.
