Why Join the Team?

You’ll be joining a family-focused, well-established construction company that values work-life balance and career growth. Known for their strong regional reputation and steady pipeline of high-impact projects, the company offers the opportunity to gain hands-on project experience and grow into higher levels of responsibility.

About the Role

As a Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager, you’ll play a key support role in delivering a wide range of projects—from historic renovations to new construction in healthcare, education, and public infrastructure. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is eager to build their career in construction management, thrives on teamwork, and takes initiative. You’ll assist with project coordination, documentation, subcontractor communication, and site oversight while gaining valuable exposure to project leadership.

Responsibilities:

• Safety & Quality: Support site-specific safety plans, orientations, and inspections; enforce QA/QC procedures; maintain as-built drawings; assist with punch list walks and audits.
• Project Coordination: Assist with daily project operations including meeting documentation, progress logs, scheduling updates, and site logistics. Maintain project signage, postings, and communication between field and office.
• Document & Technology Management: Organize and track drawings, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and revisions using Procore and Bluebeam, ensuring accurate records and timely distribution of updates.
• Cost & Schedule Support: Track quantities, materials, and productivity; participate in monthly cost review meetings; support schedule development and short-interval look-aheads.
• Subcontractor & Vendor Relations: Help review scopes, track compliance documentation, join preconstruction and buyout meetings, and assist in monitoring subcontractor performance.
• Preconstruction & Closeout: Contribute to estimating (takeoffs, bid package prep) and support closeout tasks including final inspections, documentation, and owner turnover.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field (or equivalent training/experience).
• 1–4 years of construction industry experience, preferably in commercial projects.
• Familiarity with project management software such as Procore or Primavera is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks.
• Solid communication and teamwork abilities with a proactive approach to learning and problem-solving.

This role is designed as a launchpad to Project Manager.
