About the role

USAM DC is looking for a motivated Project Engineering Manager to join our team. The Project Engineering Department is responsible for taking projects from the Estimating handoff through the complete submittal process, including drawing development, R&R revisions, client drawing approvals, incorporation of field dimensions, and coordination/procurement of materials. The primary goal of the Project Engineering Department is to ensure that all drawings are fully coordinated, approved, and updated before a project is transitioned to Production Engineering. Drawings should be complete and production-ready, with no outstanding revisions or unresolved submittal items when released to Production Engineering.
