Project Engineer - R.D. Olson Construction | SoCal
Sedona, AZ & Southern California | Commercial GC | Hospitality + Multifamily

This isn't just another construction job. It's your launchpad.
At R.D. Olson Construction , we're not just building projects - we're building careers. If you're early in your construction career and hungry to grow, we've built a Project Engineer role designed to accelerate you into a leadership path.

You'll be deeply embedded in the construction of major hotel and multifamily developments, where your coordination, communication, and hustle will directly impact the success of $20M-$40M projects. This is where the learning curve is steep, the standards are high, and the potential is real.

Why This Role Matters
As a Project Engineer , you'll be at the heart of it all - tracking RFIs and submittals, coordinating with top-tier subcontractors, and ensuring every material delivery and meeting runs like clockwork. You'll be the link that keeps the site running smoothly and the team aligned.

But this isn't just a checklist job - it's your first step toward becoming a Project Manager . You'll be learning directly from experienced leaders, earning trust through results, and taking on more responsibility every month. We've built the ladder. You just have to climb it.

Why Top Performers Choose R.D. Olson
You'll grow fast.
From day one, you're part of our Project Manager Career Ladder - supported by RD Olson University and mentors who've been in your shoes.

You'll make an impact.
You'll support signature construction projects across Southern California, representing the next generation of innovation in hospitality and housing.

You'll be part of something real.
This isn't a job where you push paper. It's a job where you walk job sites, solve real problems, and see your work come to life - day after day.

What You Bring
  • A degree in Construction Management , Engineering , or hands-on experience as a Project Engineer
  • Confidence using Microsoft Project , Excel , and Procore or similar tools
  • A Southern California base and willingness to travel to job sites
  • A mindset for growth, grit, and detail - not just checking boxes

Your Career, Engineered for Impact
Whether you're fresh from school or bringing a few years of field experience, this role is built to grow with you. Within your first year, you'll:
  • Master RFIs, submittals, and procurement coordination
  • Support $20M-$40M projects with real impact
  • Build the relationships and reps you'll need to lead
  • Explore how to use AI and automation to do it smarter and faster
This is a role where high performers thrive - and where those who show initiative are never held back.

Let's Build What's Next - Together
If you're ready to turn your potential into a plan and your ambition into action, we want to talk. At R.D. Olson, we don't just offer jobs - we offer careers worth building .

What You'll Receive
Salary of $65,000 to $96,000 plus construction bonus. 100% associate health insurance. 401k plan with matching. Paid time off. Volunteer opportunities.
