Full Job Description

Now Hiring: Junior Project Engineer| Company: Ortiz Corporation

Location: National City, CA 91950 | Industry: General Engineering Const (Underground Util)

About the Role

Ortiz Corporation is a heavy civil general engineering contractor specializing in public works underground utility construction, including sewer, water, storm drain, roadway restoration, and resurfacing. We are seeking a Junior Project Engineer to support our growing portfolio of municipal infrastructure projects throughout San Diego County.

This role serves as a central coordination point between project managers, field crews, subcontractors, inspectors, vendors, and municipal agencies—helping keep documentation, procurement, scheduling, and construction operations moving forward in compliance with contract requirements.

If you have experience in public works construction, enjoy solving problems in both the field and office, and want to grow into a project management career with a hands-on, fast-paced team, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Project Coordination

Coordinate daily communication between project managers, foremen, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and municipal representatives.
Track outstanding issues, pending approvals, shutdowns, procurement items, and closeout tasks.
Support weekly look-ahead scheduling and planning meetings.

Construction Administration

Prepare, submit, and track RFIs using owner-specific systems and formats.
Review plans and specifications to identify conflicts and constructability concerns.
Prepare, review, and track material and product submittals for compliance.
Coordinate material testing and inspections and maintain testing logs.

Underground Utility & Resurfacing Support

Support the construction of sewer mains, water mains, water services, and replumb systems.
Coordinate shutdown scheduling, utility tie-ins, trench restoration, and resurfacing activities.
Coordinate trench restoration, dig-outs, curb ramps, alley aprons, and roadway restoration work.

Estimating & Cost Support

Perform quantity takeoffs from plans and specifications.
Assist with bid pricing, schedules of values, and subcontractor comparisons.
Prepare Time & Material cost proposals using labor burden rates and equipment schedules.
Support the pricing and development of change orders related to plan revisions and owner-directed scope changes.

Subcontractor & Vendor Coordination

Coordinate with utility, paving, striping, corrosion, drilling, welding, and concrete subcontractors.
Track procurement of long-lead materials and specialty components.
Maintain communication with suppliers regarding pricing, lead times, and submittal requirements.

What We're Looking For

Experience in public works, heavy civil, or underground utility construction (project engineering or project coordination experience preferred).
Working knowledge of municipal specifications, standard drawings, and construction administration processes.
Ability to read, interpret, and annotate construction plans.
Strong organizational and follow-up skills, with the ability to track multiple RFIs, submittals, schedules, and subcontractor activities simultaneously.
Familiarity with quantity takeoffs and cost proposal development is a plus.
Proficiency with PDF plan annotation and document management software.
Strong written and verbal communication skills—you will serve as the connector between the field, office, and client.

Preferred: Experience using AI tools and other emerging technologies. We encourage innovation and welcome individuals who enjoy leveraging technology to improve productivity, solve problems, streamline workflows, and work more efficiently.

Why Ortiz Corporation

We're a hands-on, growing general engineering contractor delivering meaningful public infrastructure projects throughout San Diego County. You'll gain exposure to every phase of underground utility and roadway construction—from estimating through project closeout—while working alongside a team committed to investing in your growth toward a Project Manager role.

To Apply: Submit your resume along with a brief note describing your experience with public works, heavy civil, or underground utility construction.
