Project Engineer

This is a temp-to-hire role that supports field leadership and project management on electrical construction projects, with a focus on keeping installation work efficient and reducing rework. The project engineer acts as a technical resource for the field team, making sure project documentation, drawings, and related materials are accurate and delivered ahead of when they're needed on site. New hires in this role work alongside a senior project engineer while learning the position.

Responsibilities

• Give field supervisors and foremen the current drawings, schedules, and coordination information they need to plan work effectively, stay productive, and avoid rework.
• Track design and coordination updates from mechanical, structural, architectural, and other trades to protect the electrical scope and installation sequence.
• Review project plans, specifications, and related documents to catch missing, unclear, or conflicting information, and work with designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to get it resolved quickly.
• Evaluate submittals and RFIs across all trades for their potential impact on electrical work, and flag relevant conflicts or changes to project managers and field leaders right away.
• Watch for risks before they affect operations, and support ongoing improvements to installation quality and efficiency.
• Create clear, accurate shop drawings, installation details, and marked-up plans that give field crews the information they need to install work correctly the first time.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5 or more years of experience in electrical construction, project engineering, or a comparable role in a contracting environment.
• A degree in engineering (electrical, mechanical, civil, or a related field), a building science field (construction management or architecture), or completion of an electrical or mechanical trade apprenticeship program.
• Working knowledge of commercial or industrial electrical systems and construction processes.
• Strong ability to read and interpret construction plans, specifications, and technical documents.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Bluebeam, Procore, or similar construction document management platforms.
• Experience with CAD, BIM, or other construction design software.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and coordination skills, with the ability to work well on a diverse team and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced setting.
