About the Role
The Project Engineer is the entry point into Structor's project management track. This role keeps information moving — submittals, RFIs, procurement, and documentation — so the Project Manager and Superintendent can stay focused on execution. It is a learning position by design: expect close mentorship, steadily increasing ownership, and a clear path toward Assistant Project Manager.
Responsibilities
- Manage the RFI process end to end — draft, log, track, and close out requests, coordinating with the design team and field staff until each is resolved.
- Build the submittal log at project start and maintain it through closeout, reviewing packages against drawings and specifications before routing them.
- Procure and expedite materials, equipment, and subcontractor services against the construction schedule.
- Maintain document control: daily reports, procurement logs, testing and inspection logs, and change order logs.
- Distribute approved submittals, RFI responses, and revised drawings to affected parties promptly.
- Organize and archive project files so the full team and trade partners can find what they need.
- Prepare agendas, minutes, and action items for OAC, subcontractor, staff, and safety meetings.
- Assemble closeout documentation — as-builts, warranties, O&M manuals, and owner training materials.
- Project buyout, including subcontract and purchase order preparation.
- Change order identification, pricing, and distribution.
- Schedule development, updates, and progress tracking.
- Coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other building systems across trades.
- QA/QC inspections, testing, and code compliance reviews.
- Job-specific safety plan implementation and weekly safety audits.
- Cost control, including subcontractor payment review and owner billing backup.
