This is an on-site, project-based position requiring travel, where you'll work closely with project management and field leadership to coordinate work, solve problems, monitor performance, and keep execution aligned with cost, schedule, quality, and contract requirements.

Responsibilities

• Independently manage assigned project-engineering activities from planning through completion.
• Interpret plans, specifications, drawings, and contract requirements to support field execution.
• Identify, coordinate, and document resolution of design questions, constructability issues, changed conditions, and field conflicts.
• Coordinate layout, measurements, elevations, quantities, and other field-engineering activities.
• Manage assigned quantities, production tracking, labor, equipment, costs, forecasts, and project performance information.
• Support development and maintenance of project budgets, forecasts, job controls, and reporting.
• Analyze cost and production information to identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Prepare and review quantity takeoffs, material calculations, and supporting cost information.
• Communicate performance issues and support corrective actions with project and field leadership.
• Coordinate material planning, procurement, deliveries, subcontractors, and suppliers.
• Maintain accurate project records, logs, status information, and supporting documentation.
• Coordinate across field operations, project management, and other stakeholders to resolve issues and keep work progressing.

• Identify and communicate cost, schedule, production, quality, and technical risks.
• Provide guidance and support to Project Engineer I and other assigned project personnel.
• Share construction knowledge, project processes, and effective work practices with developing team members.
• Apply lessons learned to improve project controls, documentation, coordination, and execution.
• Demonstrate readiness for broader project and leadership responsibility.

• Demonstrated experience independently managing assigned project-engineering responsibilities, including project controls, quantities, field coordination, documentation, or technical support.
• Experience with heavy civil construction, earthwork/mass grading, paving, underground utilities, concrete, drainage, aggregate surfacing, or large-scale site development.
• Civil construction experience supporting utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or substations, including grading, access roads, crane/equipment pads, drainage, or aggregate surfacing.
• Direct energy-sector experience is preferred, not required; comparable heavy civil, mass grading, and large-scale site-development experience is valued.
• Experience or familiarity with HCSS software, including HeavyJob.
• Familiarity with Trimble, Topcon, or comparable GPS/GNSS machine-control systems.
• Familiarity with Trimble Business Center or similar software is beneficial but not required.
• Strong working knowledge of construction methods, equipment, materials, sequencing, and field operations.
• Ability to independently interpret plans, specifications, contract requirements, and technical information.
