THE OPPORTUNITY

Ready to grow your construction career with one of Florida's top builders? A leading heavy-civil contractor is hiring a Project Engineer for an active FDOT roadway project in the Naples area. This is a hands-on role with real mentorship, a strong backlog behind it, and clear room to move up — a great next step for an engineer who wants to build a career, not just fill a seat.

WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS ROLE

•   Strong pay plus upside — $95,000 to $120,000 base plus bonus.

•   A genuine growth path. Learn the business from senior project staff who invest in developing engineers, with a clear track toward Senior PE and beyond.

•   Meaningful FDOT roadway work in one of Florida's most desirable markets.

•   The stability of an established, well-funded contractor with a deep project pipeline.

•   Direct-hire with full benefits — medical, retirement, PTO, and the backing of a top Florida builder.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

•   Manage RFIs and submittals — keep information moving between designers, the owner, and subcontractors.

•   Support the Superintendent in the field on material tracking, subcontractor scheduling, and daily sequencing.

•   Help track quantities, pay estimates, and project costs.

•   Review plans and specs to catch conflicts and constructability issues early.

•   Keep documentation, daily reports, and records aligned to FDOT standards.

•   Support scheduling, look-ahead planning, and change-order documentation.

WHAT YOU BRING

•   2 years of project or field engineering in heavy-civil / heavy-highway construction.

•   A heavy-civil / FDOT roadway background (or comparable DOT roadway experience).

•   Working knowledge of RFIs, submittals, and field coordination.

•   A degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field — or equivalent field experience.

•   The ability to read civil construction plans and specifications.

NICE TO HAVE

•   Direct FDOT project experience.

•   Familiarity with Primavera P6, Bluebeam, or Microsoft Project.

•   EIT certification or measurable progress toward a PE license.
