Job description

Build With Integrity. Lead With Purpose.

July 2026 | Contegra Construction is looking for a motivated Construction Project Engineer to support the successful delivery of complex commercial, industrial, manufacturing, distribution, and design-build construction projects.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an early-career construction professional who wants to build a long-term career in project management. As a Project Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced Project Managers and Superintendents, gaining hands‑on experience in every phase of construction while helping deliver projects safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.

If you’re organized, eager to learn, and excited about building projects that leave a lasting impact, you’ll find opportunities to grow with a company that values integrity, accountability, teamwork, and professional development.

What you’ll do:
  • Support Project Managers throughout all phases of construction, from preconstruction through closeout.
  • Coordinate Requests for Information (RFIs), submittals, shop drawings, and project documentation.
  • Track project schedules, procurement activities, and material deliveries.
  • Assist with subcontractor coordination, contract administration, and project communications.
  • Review construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents for accuracy and completeness.
  • Participate in project meetings with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams.
  • Monitor project progress and assist in resolving field and administrative issues.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, change orders, pay applications, and cost tracking.
  • Coordinate closeout documentation, punch lists, warranties, and turnover packages.
  • Visit active jobsites regularly to collaborate with field leadership and better understand project execution.
  • Continuously develop your technical and leadership skills through mentorship and hands‑on project experience.
What we’re looking for:

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and eager to build a successful career in commercial construction.

Qualifications include:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related field preferred.
  • Internship or 1–3 years of experience in commercial construction, project engineering, estimating, or related experience preferred.
  • Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, and project documentation.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering quality work.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with Procore, Bluebeam, or other construction software is a plus.
  • A collaborative mindset with a desire to learn from experienced construction professionals.
Work Environment:

This position combines office‑based project coordination with regular visits to active construction sites. Travel between project locations may be required to support project teams, attend meetings, and gain field experience. Occasional extended hours may be necessary during key project milestones.

Why Contegra?

At Contegra, we don’t just hire Project Engineers—we invest in future construction leaders. You’ll gain exposure to every aspect of project delivery while working alongside experienced professionals on challenging commercial, industrial, manufacturing, and design‑build projects. We believe in promoting from within and providing the mentorship, responsibility, and opportunities needed to build a rewarding long‑term career.

We offer:

  • Competitive salary based on experience.

  • Health and dental insurance.
