Project Engineer (Design Build Developer)

$65k - $85k

Jobot

Job Details Salary: $65,000 - $85,000 per year Education & Experience Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering/Management, or related field. 2–5 years (or more, depending on level) of experience in construction, engineering, or project coordination — preferably in commercial real‑estate, mixed‑use, or multifamily development. Experience working on projects from ground‑up or major renovation scopes preferred. Familiarity with construction means, methods, scheduling tools, cost tracking, subcontractor coordination, and on‑site engineering. Key Skills & Competencies Strong technical aptitude — able to review drawings, specifications, submittals, and shop drawings, and understand structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural systems. Excellent communication skills — ability to coordinate with design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders. Solid organizational and time‑management skills — comfortable managing multiple tasks, priorities, and deadlines in a fast‑paced environment. Proficiency with construction management software (e.g., Procore, BIM360, MS Project, Primavera) and the MS Office suite (Excel, Word, Outlook). Problem‑solving mindset — able to identify issues proactively, propose solutions, elevate when necessary, and follow through to resolution. Detail‑oriented mindset — ensuring quality, safety, and compliance standards are met throughout the project lifecycle. Willingness to spend time on job sites — comfort and ability to walk active construction sites, interface with field staff, understand field conditions, and support site operations. Ability to travel between project locations as required (within the region/city) and flexibility to work occasional extended hours when project demands require. Responsibilities Assist the Project Manager and Superintendent in planning, coordinating, and executing project work scopes. Review drawings, RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, change orders and coordinate with design and construction teams to maintain project alignment. Monitor project schedules, cost‑to‑complete, budgets, contingencies and report on progress, risks, and opportunities. Attend site meetings, coordinate subcontractor activities, track deliverables, and support field operations to meet schedule, budget, and quality objectives. Support procurement — compile vendor data, review proposals, coordinate with purchasing/team members to ensure timely delivery of long‑lead items and equipment. Maintain accurate project documentation: daily logs, meeting minutes, field reports, safety records, submittal logs, RFI logs, change order logs, etc. Assist in risk management efforts: identify potential project risks (schedule, cost, quality, safety), recommend mitigation actions, and monitor implementation. Ensure compliance with company policies, safety standards, contract requirements, and applicable codes/regulations. Support continuous improvement: suggest process enhancements and lessons‑learned from ongoing project work to refine workflows and drive efficiency.
