Heavy Civil Project Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

What a day looks like

In this role, you’re the connective tissue between the office and the field. Your morning might start by syncing last night’s HCSS/HeavyJob entries with Excel to validate quantities and cost codes, then moving straight into prepping RFIs and submittals for the Project Manager’s review. By mid-day, you’re on site verifying takeoffs, updating redlines and as-builts, and confirming delivery tickets and certifications for materials you ordered under the correct job codes. In the afternoon, you’re back at your desk organizing subcontractor quotes, aligning look-ahead schedules with the Superintendent’s plan and the project budget, and pushing progress updates into the master schedule so milestones stay visible and reliable.

All the while, you’re coordinating survey requests, permits, utility locates, inspections, and vendor deliveries, addressing plan discrepancies with the field team, and keeping owners, inspectors, and designers informed via email and project portals. As projects approach closeout, you’ll assemble final quantities, warranties, and documentation, drive punch list resolution, and capture lessons learned and revenue projections with the PM. You’ll also support EOS-style rhythms by participating in Rocks, Scorecards, D10s, and recurring reporting. And yes—there will be other duties as assigned that keep our jobs moving and our clients confident.
