A bit about us:

We're a large, well-established regional General Contractor with a dominant presence across the Southeast. Our core focus is student housing and mid- to high-rise multifamily developments, typically ranging from $40M-$150M+ in value.

This is a high-volume, repeat-client environment where speed, precision, and execution matter. Projects are complex, schedules are aggressive, and teams are expected to perform at a high level. If you're looking to step into a role where you're truly running pieces of the job-not just supporting-you'll fit well here.

Why join us?
  • Strong pipeline of ground-up student housing & urban mid/high-rise projects
  • Clear runway to Assistant Project Manager / Project Manager
  • Exposure to large-scale builds ($40M-$150M+)
  • Stable, repeat-client business model (not chasing one-off work)
  • Competitive base + bonus + travel package/per diem
  • Opportunity to work with high-performing teams in a fast-paced environment


Job Details

The Senior Project Engineer plays a key role in driving project execution from preconstruction through closeout, working closely with Project Managers and Superintendents on large-scale, vertical construction projects.

This is a traveling role across the Southeast U.S., supporting active job sites where needed.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead RFI, submittal, and document control processes with minimal oversight
  • Coordinate with subcontractors, vendors, and field teams to maintain schedule and quality
  • Assist in project scheduling, phasing plans, and look-ahead planning
  • Track and manage project costs, change orders, and budget impacts
  • Support buyout and procurement efforts for key trades
  • Drive QA/QC processes and ensure work aligns with plans/specs
  • Maintain strong communication between field operations and office teams
  • Assist in project closeout, punch lists, and turnover documentation

What We're Looking For:
  • 4-8+ years of experience in commercial construction
  • Experience on student housing, multifamily, or mid/high-rise projects strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to manage project documentation and coordination independently
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Strong understanding of construction processes, sequencing, and logistics
  • Proficient with tools like Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, or similar
  • Willingness to travel throughout the Southeast (project-based assignments)
  • Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred
