What Does a Project Engineer Do?

Managing RFI and submittal logs, assisting with scheduling and procurement, coordinating with subcontractors on technical requirements, maintaining project documentation, supporting change order management, and participating in owner and subcontractor meetings.

What We Screen For

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or Civil Engineering, 2–5 years of construction field or office experience, proficiency with Procore or equivalent, and strong document management and communication skills.

💡 Hiring Insight

Project engineers who have been given real responsibility early — managing their own RFI log, presenting in owner meetings, running a buyout — develop faster and are ready for PM roles sooner than those kept in a support function.

Typical Compensation
$60,000 – $95,000
Engineers with early project ownership experience and Procore proficiency command the higher end of this range.
