Project Engineer

Are you organized, decisive, adaptable, and good at finding solutions when a problem arises? If working from electrical schematics and mechanical drawings is your thing, and you also enjoy working directly with the customer, you might be the Project Engineer we are looking for.

At Impact, the Project Engineer works hard, leads others, gets results, and reports directly to the general manager. Therefore, the ability to accept responsibility and accountability for your actions, as well as promoting a positive image of the company and striving to solve issues raised by customers, are important character traits.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

Participate on bid and proposal activities. Ensure that the requirements of the request for proposal are met in the preparation and documentation of bids and proposals.
