We are seeking a motivated and hands-on Project Engineer to support commercial electrical construction projects within a self-perform electrical contractor environment. Projects include healthcare, hospital, university, and institutional construction work.
This is not a purely administrative position. The Project Engineer will work closely with Project Managers, field teams, foremen, vendors, and leadership throughout the full project lifecycle — from preconstruction through closeout. This role supports project coordination, documentation, scheduling, procurement, field communication, and day-to-day execution across active job sites.
For the right candidate, this position offers a strong long-term growth path into a Project Manager role.
