This is a hands-on construction-phase position for a Project Engineer who has experience working for an EPC contractor on pharmaceutical, biopharma, or life sciences projects .

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the Construction Manager with daily construction activities and field execution

• Coordinate subcontractors, field teams, scheduling, logistics, and resources

• Work closely with the construction team to keep project milestones on schedule

• Review construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and other project documentation

• Monitor quality and ensure construction activities meet project specifications and GMP requirements

• Track material deliveries and coordinate with procurement and project teams

• Participate in project meetings, safety activities, and field coordination

• Identify and escalate issues affecting schedule, quality, or construction progress

• Serve as a key connection between the EPC project team, subcontractors, and field personnel

What We’re Looking For:

• 3–5+ years of construction/project engineering experience

• Experience working for an EPC contractor is required

• Pharmaceutical, biopharma, life sciences, or GMP construction experience is strongly preferred

• Experience specifically supporting the construction phase of a pharmaceutical project

• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and project documentation

• Experience coordinating subcontractors and field construction activities

• Strong organizational and communication skills

• Proficiency with construction/project management software such as Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, or similar

⭐ Preferred:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Engineering, or related field

• OSHA 30 certification or equivalent

• Experience with large-scale, complex pharmaceutical or life sciences facilities

• Knowledge of GMP requirements and pharmaceutical facility systems, including HVAC, process piping, and electrical distribution

Location: Kankakee, IL

If you’re a Project Engineer with EPC experience who has been hands-on during the construction phase of major pharma/life sciences projects , I’d be interested in connecting.
