Project Engineer - Commercial Construction

gpac

Project Engineer – Commercial Construction

Seeking a driven Project Engineer to join one of the Bay Area's most respected and fastest-growing commercial General Contractors. Known for delivering some of the region's most iconic and technically complex projects, this builder offers a culture that blends innovation, collaboration, and long-term career development.

From cutting-edge tech campuses to life sciences facilities and high-rise towers, their portfolio spans high-profile work that shapes skylines and transforms communities. The team prides itself on delivering quality without compromise—while maintaining one of the best safety records in the industry.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High-Impact Projects – Be part of landmark developments in tech, life sciences, mixed-use, and high-rise sectors.
  • Employee-First Culture – Leadership invests heavily in training, mentorship, and professional growth at every level.
  • Rapid Growth – Join a company that continues to grow while maintaining a collaborative, team-driven environment.

Responsibilities

  • Assist Project Managers in day-to-day project operations.
  • Manage submittals, RFIs, change orders, and project documentation.
  • Track and maintain project schedules and budgets.
  • Coordinate with subcontractors, design teams, and clients to ensure project goals are met.
  • Support safety and quality control processes.
  • Contribute to project closeout, punch lists, and final documentation.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field.
  • 1-6 years of experience in commercial construction for a general contractor
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Proficiency with project management and scheduling software.
  • Desire to grow into a leadership role in the field or project management.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary (DOE) with performance-based bonuses.
  • Comprehensive health benefits, 401(k) with company match, and generous PTO.
  • Ongoing professional development programs and clear career progression opportunities.

If you're ready to take the next step in your construction career and be part of a team delivering some of the Bay Area's most exciting projects, I'd love to hear from you. Apply online or email your resume to Kenna Warren at View email address on click.appcast.io.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations. GPAC (Growing People and Companies) is an award-winning search firm specializing in placing quality professionals within multiple industries across the United States since 1990. We are extremely competitive, client-focused and realize that our value is in our ability to deliver the right solutions at the right time.
