What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Project Engineer position at Nova Construction Management?
Title: Construction Project Engineer
Location: Onsite and in office (as project requires)
Company: NOVA Construction Management
About NOVA Construction Management
NOVA Construction Management is a high-performing, small general contractor specializing in industrial and commercial interior buildouts. With over 23 years of construction experience on the team, NOVA focuses on large-scale warehouse, cold storage, manufacturing, and office/retail tenant improvements—typically ranging from 50,000 to 800,000 SF and $1M to $20M in construction value. NOVA is especially notable in the industrial warehousing, cold storage, and manufacturing sectors across South Florida.
NOVA operates differently from a typical GC, blending resourcefulness, creativity, and an understanding of ever-changing tenant requirements. Team members are exposed to most construction divisions within a project instead of being siloed, creating a fast-paced, hands-on learning environment. NOVA uses industry-leading tools such as Procore, Bluebeam, and modern digital bid platforms.
Position Overview
The Construction Project Engineer will support project managers and superintendents in the day-to-day administration and coordination of industrial and commercial interior buildouts. This is an excellent role for someone looking to build a strong foundation in project management, field coordination, and client-facing communication within a fast-moving GC environment.
Key Responsibilities
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States; NOVA is not able to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
This is an on-site, field-based position. Candidates must already reside in the South Florida area and be able to reliably commute to job sites; relocation assistance is not available.
