About the role

The Project Engineer keeps a project's documentation accurate and moving. You will own the change order and RFI logs, track submittals through the general contractor, drive closeout, and make sure what is on paper matches what the crews are building in the field. You will sit at the center of the project team, connecting field leadership and project management with the owner, architect, and engineer on the other side. Depending on the work, you may support one large project or several smaller ones at once. In both cases the job is the same, which is getting people accurate answers before the lack of one slows the work down.
