Senior Project Engineer

Job Description

SENIOR PROJECT ENGINEER / PROJECT FACILITATOR

A licensed PE is common. A licensed PE who drives jobs is not. We are hiring the second kind.

West + Central Florida, field-based, $90K-$125K base + performance incentive.

Most firms hire a PE to slow jobs down with caution. We hire one to speed them up with judgment.

STONE

Florida's #1-voted structural engineering and construction monitoring firm.

$1B+ in property recovered. 6x FLCAJ Diamond Winners. Featured by the Associated Press, 2026.

Engineer of Record · Oversight · Owner's Rep · Insurance Recovery

One firm. Four jobs. We engineer the building, monitor the money, represent the owner, and recover what's owed. Most clients learn the value of that the hard way.

We're the only firm where Owner's Rep, Project Manager, and Engineer of Record are one team.

Not three vendors pretending to collaborate. 

One firm writes your RFP, runs Sealed Bidding, helps you hire the GC, and monitors them onsite until the job’s done right.

1,500+ reports since 2023. Construction Monitoring is our primary vertical. 

We are not a startup looking for hugs. We’re building this industry’s unicorn, and we are early.

THE SEAT

This is for the one engineer-builder everyone defers to. He's been right too many times to question.

You're not here to review drawings and hand them back. 

You're here to take a job at its bottleneck and drive it to closeout, clearing the scope and funding delays that stall lesser operators. 

You make owners look smart for hiring us. You are their judgment on the ground. 

\n
• Own projects end to end. Pre-RFP, sealed bid, GC selection, field supervision, ribbon-cutting.
\n
• Move jobs. The 6-to-12-week zone from RFP to permit is where projects drown. Not yours. 
\n
• Keep GCs honest on scope, schedule, change orders, and quality. You’ve managed enough to see a problem from a mile away. 
\n
• Bridge the room. You speak to a board and a foreman without losing either. (That’s half the job.)
\n
• Bring your book. If you have a rolodex of GCs, developers, and lenders, we'll pay you well to use it.
\n

THE MOVER

\n
• Licensed PE. 
\n
• 15+ years of field work: Senior PE, Owner’s Rep, Superintendent, GC. The stamp impresses boards. The scar tissue impresses us.
\n
• You've likely run your own firm. You know what a bad collection or a dry pipeline feels like. Good news: we handle the back office. You drive.
\n
• High standards. Low ego. No appetite for politics. 
\n

This isn't for you if:

\n
• You're looking for a retirement lap with a fancy title.
\n
• You've forgotten what a job site smells like. 
\n
• The last decade has been reviewing other people's work and calling it leadership. We’ll both know quickly.
\n

⸻

THE CULTURE

Direct access to leadership. No corporate theater. No 14-person approval chains. 

We hand you the keys because you've earned them. And we expect you to drive.

We do not manage at this level. The entire reason to hire someone of your caliber is that we never have to. We're building something permanent, and we want a serious operator who wants his fingerprints all over it.

THE COMPENSATION

Strong pay for strong judgment. Plus the part nobody else offers. Real upside tied to what truly matters: moving jobs.

\n
• Base: $90K-$125K, based on experience. A true floor, not a placeholder.
\n
• Performance pay directly proportional to project velocity. The faster you move jobs from RFP into active billable work, the more you earn. 
\n
• Completion comp: a percentage of project value, structured at LOI. Drive more, bank more.
\n
• Origination upside: a deal off your own book will earn a bonus the day it signs. Time your relationships paid you what they're worth.
\n
• A strong driver realistically clears $140K+, with serious room above it. We pay for output, not tenure.
\n

Plus the table stakes: 

\n
• Car + travel. Health + Life. 401(k) + Match. PTO + Paid Holidays. Company card + tech.
\n

We do not make the kind of promises that sound impressive in an interview and evaporate in year two. 

The number moves when the jobs move. Played right, this is the last job ad you ever read. 

⸻

If you are the most capable person on every job but aren't compensated like it, you already know whether this seat is yours. 

If your work speaks for itself, this will feel obvious.
