Title: Construction Project Engineer 3

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Explain a typical day in the role.:

• A typical day begins with reviewing document-control dashboards, turnover trackers, and outstanding action items to identify overdue submittals, RFIs, drawings, O&M manuals, commissioning records, and closeout deliverables. The Document Controller prioritizes critical documentation required to support construction activities, commissioning, and upcoming turnover milestones.
• Throughout the day, the role coordinates with Construction Managers, Project Engineers, General Contractors, subcontractors, design consultants, commissioning teams, and Operations to collect, review, organize, and track project documentation. This includes maintaining document registers, managing revisions, verifying document accuracy, and ensuring information is properly uploaded and stored within project repositories.
• A significant portion of the day is dedicated to tracking turnover and closeout documentation, identifying gaps, following up on missing deliverables, and validating that records comply with project requirements and turnover documentation matrices. The Document Controller reviews O&M manuals, as-built drawings, testing and commissioning reports, warranty packages, training records, and other turnover-critical documents.
• The role also supports quality reviews of project documentation, ensuring records are complete, current, correctly classified, and audit-ready. Regular communication with project stakeholders is required to resolve documentation issues, maintain progress toward turnover milestones, and ensure Operations receives complete and accurate project records at handover.
