What is the difference between Highway Project Engineer vs Civil Engineer?

AspectHighway Project EngineerCivil Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Civil Engineering, PE license often preferredBachelor's in Civil Engineering, PE license often required
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, project management, field supervisionDesign offices, construction sites, planning and analysis
Industry UsageSpecifically in highway and transportation projectsBroader, including bridges, buildings, water systems

Highway Project Engineers focus on managing and overseeing highway construction projects, ensuring timely completion and compliance. Civil Engineers have a broader scope, working on various infrastructure projects. While both roles require similar credentials and often work in construction environments, Highway Project Engineers specialize in transportation infrastructure, making their roles more project-specific compared to the versatile Civil Engineer.

Job description

About the Role

We are a heavy civil construction contractor seeking an experienced Project Manager / Estimator to own public works and federal-aid projects from bid through closeout. This is a dual-role position for someone who thrives on both the preconstruction side — building accurate, competitive bids, and the execution side, driving projects to on-time, on-budget completion. The ideal candidate has a strong track record bidding and managing private or public work and understands what it takes to deliver under Oregon Standard Specifications.

What You'll Own

Preconstruction & Estimating

  • Perform quantity takeoffs, solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes, and build detailed unit-price bids in HeavyBid.
  • Review plans, specifications, special provisions, and addenda to identify scope, risk, and opportunities.
  • Prepare and submit complete, compliant bid packages through eBids for ODOT highway and bridge projects and through OregonBuys for local public agency work.
  • Develop preliminary schedules, phasing plans, and cost models to support bid strategy.

Project Management & Execution

  • Lead assigned projects from notice of award through final acceptance, serving as the primary point of contact with the owner, engineer, and resident engineer.
  • Manage budgets, job cost reporting, and forecasting in HeavyJob and Spectrum; review progress estimates and reconcile against CPS pay items on ODOT jobs.
  • Build and maintain CPM schedules; update progress, manage float, and issue time-impact analyses as needed.
  • Negotiate and administer subcontracts and POs; review and process RFIs, submittals, change orders, and force account work.
  • Oversee field operations in partnership with superintendents and foremen, conducting regular site visits to verify progress, quality, and safety compliance.
  • Ensure compliance with DBE/ESB goals, certified payroll and prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon and BOLI), traffic control plans, erosion and sediment control, and all applicable federal-aid requirements.
  • Drive project closeout: punch list, final quantities, as-builts, warranty documentation, and final payment.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years of progressive experience in heavy civil construction as a PM, estimator, or combined role, with demonstrated project ownership from bid to closeout.
  • Proficiency with HeavyBid and HeavyJob or similar is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of federal-aid project requirements, including DBE compliance, Buy America, and certified payroll.
  • Ability to read and interpret civil plans, profiles, cross-sections, and specifications.
  • Strong command of construction means and methods for earthwork, underground utilities, grading, paving, and/or structures.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable representing the company to owners, agencies, and subcontractors.
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to job sites.

Preferred

  • Familiarity with ODOT's CPS (Contract Payment System) and prime contractor prequalification process.
  • Experience with Bluebeam, AGTEK, Civil 3D, or Primavera P6.
  • Experience on CM/GC or design-build delivery methods.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field (equivalent experience will be considered).
  • OSHA 30, flagger, and/or first aid certifications.

  • 401(k)
