Project Engineer I

Why This Role Matters

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career engineer who wants hands-on experience, real project responsibility, and mentorship from experienced professionals. As a Project Engineer I, you won’t just be supporting projects—you’ll be learning how designs come together from concept through construction while building a strong technical foundation.

If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems, learning quickly, and contributing to a collaborative team, this role offers a clear path for growth.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work under the guidance of senior engineers while steadily building confidence and independence.

• Design portions of civil engineering projects using Civil 3D and other office software
• Perform engineering calculations and apply technical concepts to solve real-world problems
• Assist with specifications, material selection, and construction documentation
• Collaborate with Designers and CADD Technicians to complete plan sets and details
• Conduct research and prepare clear, objective reports that support project decisions
• Assist with engineering and construction cost estimates
• Participate in field observations, inspections, and data collection
• Communicate with clients and internal team members as directed by senior staff
• Provide input on design challenges based on your calculations and analysis
• Take ownership of assigned tasks while knowing when to ask for guidance
• Support plan development (note: this role does not include signing or sealing plans)

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, you’ll be:

• Confidently completing assigned design and analysis tasks
• Contributing meaningfully to plan sets and project deliverables
• Building strong working relationships with project managers, designers, and field staff
• Developing a deeper understanding of construction and field coordination

What We’re Looking For

This role is a great fit for someone who is:

• Highly motivated and eager to learn
• Detail-oriented and organized
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment

• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to read and interpret engineering plans and technical documents
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset
• Willingness to develop skills in field inspection, documentation, and contractor coordination
• Ability to operate technical and computer equipment with provided training
• E.I.T. certification required or obtainable within 9 months of hire

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or a related scientific field
• Familiarity with AutoCAD Civil 3D strongly preferred
• EIT preferred

Why Work With Us:

• Hands-on experience on real projects—not just back-office support
• Mentorship from experienced engineers invested in your development
• A collaborative, small-team environment where your contributions matter
• Exposure to both design and field work to build a well-rounded foundation
