A well-established mechanical contractor is seeking a Project Engineer to serve as the technical backbone on commercial mechanical construction projects. This is a hands-on role where you'll own submittals, RFIs, procurement, scheduling support, and project documentation — working directly alongside Project Managers, Superintendents, and field crews to keep complex mechanical projects running on time and on budget. Ideal for an engineer with 3–5 years of mechanical contractor experience who's ready to take real ownership of their work.
What you'll do
Manage the full submittal process — shop drawings, product submittals, O&M manuals, and as-built drawings
Process RFIs, change order requests, and change orders — ensure timely documentation and proper procedures are followed
Coordinate buyout, procurement, and delivery of materials and equipment in line with schedule and budget targets
Initiate and oversee billing; review and monitor labor costs, hours, and projections with superintendents
Assist in developing the project CPM schedule; provide monthly cost forecasts and status reporting to PM and leadership
Maintain daily project documentation — time cards, daily reports, AWOs, receiving docs, and permit compliance
Enforce quality control procedures on-site and support safety compliance and incident documentation
Drive project closeout efficiently and keep PM and operations leadership informed of closeout status
What we're looking for
Mechanical contractor background is required — this is not a design engineering or MEP consulting role.
Direct experience working for a mechanical contractor — HVAC, plumbing, piping, process, or related mechanical construction
3–5 years of experience as a Project Engineer, Project Coordinator, or similar role in mechanical construction
Hands-on experience with submittals, RFIs, buyout, and contract documentation
Working knowledge of project financials — billing, cost tracking, change orders, and subcontract administration
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field — or equivalent field experience
Detail-oriented, organized, and able to juggle multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced project environment
