Dowbuilt

We’re hiring a Project Engineer to work closely with the superintendent and project manager on estimating and scheduling efforts, subcontractor buy-out, and project documentation/ tracking. Project engineers understand design intent and apply the mechanics of how things come together in the field to collaborate effectively with the project team, architect, vendors, subs, suppliers, and consultants. This position is dynamic, creative, and whenever possible, site-based, to ensure projects are executed at the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship. Travel to Northeast-based job sites is required; mileage and travel expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with company policy.

  • Conducting subcontractor site walk-throughs to review plans and specs prior to pricing

  • Assessing data from subcontractor proposals: review, negotiate, summarize

  • Writing and managing Subcontractor Agreements ensuring all necessary elements are present

  • Maintaining punch list with architect and build team

  • Receiving, review, and code applications for payment with project manager

  • Partnering with the project manager to assure payment is received from owner and paid out to subcontractors

  • Maintaining owner’s manual (product information, warranties, as-built drawings, etc.) and handling project close out requirements

  • Working with superintendent to maintain job site quality control

  • Being a positive advocate for safety in action and attitude; reinforcing awareness to reduce the risk of injury or citations

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

To be successful as a Dowbuilt project engineer, you’ll need:

  • 3+ years of construction management experience, high-end residential highly preferred

  • Construction Management degree, or similar education plus experience

  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and specifications

  • Excellent communication, team-building skills and detail follow through

  • Knowledge of technical construction terms and experience with both traditional and new materials

  • Proficient in Microsoft Outlook, Project, Excel, Word, BlueBeam

  • Familiarity with web-based applications such as Slack, Asana, SmartSheet, and Airtable is highly preferred

  • Sage 300 CRE familiarity is preferred, but not required

  • US Work Authorization

  • Travel to Northeast-based job sites is required; mileage and travel expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with company policy.

The base pay range for this position is $75,000 - $100,000 per year. Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, education, certifications, geographic location, and internal equity.
