Ready to build more than a résumé?

A leading Salt Lake City area commerical general contrator is looking for a Project Engineer who wants to be involved, challenged, and given the opportunity to grow.

You'll work directly alongside Project Managers and Superintendents, gaining hands-on exposure to the full construction process-from preconstruction and procurement through execution and closeout.

You'll be part of a team delivering complex projects throughout the Salt Lake City area, with the resources, mentorship, and project exposure to build a long-term career in construction management.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Support Project Managers and Superintendents throughout the life of the project
  • Manage RFIs, submittals, change documentation, and project correspondence
  • Assist with subcontractor coordination and procurement
  • Track schedules, costs, materials, and project documentation
  • Participate in owner, architect, subcontractor, and internal project meetings
  • Work closely with field teams to solve problems and keep projects moving
  • Assist with quality control, punch lists, closeout, and turnover
  • Gain exposure to budgeting, forecasting, scheduling, and overall project management

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred
  • Commercial construction experience through a Project Engineer, Field Engineer, internship, or similar role
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Comfortable working with both field and office teams
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving construction environment
  • Procore, Bluebeam, or similar construction software experience is a plus
  • Someone who wants to learn, take ownership, and continue advancing

Why This Opportunity?

You'll get meaningful exposure to the parts of construction that prepare you for the next step.

The company offers a strong local project pipeline, experienced leadership, competitive compensation and benefits, and a clear opportunity to grow into an Assistant Project Manager and eventually Project Manager role.

If you're looking for a Project Engineer position where you can learn from experienced builders, take on real responsibility, and build a career in the Salt Lake City commercial construction market, this is worth a conversation.
