Project Engineer

Paradigm Mechanical Corp.
Santee, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/30/2026

At Paradigm Mechanical Corp., we specialize in working with project teams to design and build mechanical systems for medical, laboratory, government, and industrial facilities throughout Southern California. We solve complex challenges for our clients in ways others can't — or won't.


We're looking for a Project Engineer who loves organization, takes ownership, and sees every project through from preconstruction to closeout. If you're the person who tracks every submittal, follows up before anyone asks, and takes pride in a zero-punchlist — we want to meet you.

 

What You'll Do

  • Submit all preconstruction and construction submittals, RFIs, change orders, and other project documentation; track approvals and responses and maintain Egnyte folders updated daily
  • Support the Project Manager in driving the project's overall flow effectively from inception to completion
  • Lead client interaction during the preconstruction and project closeout phases
  • Create preconstruction documents and manage the full submittal register and status tracking
  • Assist with project closeout per company procedures — collect all information prior to job end so closeouts are completed and submitted within one week of final walkthrough
  • Prepare warranty letters and coordinate with President for signature
  • Ensure compliance with all internal and external record-keeping requirements
  • Assist with coordinating subcontractors and/or procurement of construction materials
  • Track and manage subcontractor progress
  • Perform Quality Control / Quality Assurance checks throughout the project lifecycle
  • Serve as the Paradigm expert in Egnyte — train field leads, SSHOs, and new employees on the program and filing system
  • Train field supervisors on daily reports: where to find forms, how to complete and submit
  • Support daily project coordination and other tasks as assigned

 

What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years of experience in construction or a related field
  • Experience with construction software preferred; strong Microsoft Word and Excel skills required
  • Strong leadership skills and excellent oral and written communication
  • Ability to prioritize, manage time, and follow up — consistently and proactively
  • Self-motivated, organized, and attentive to detail
  • Ability to establish and maintain relationships with clients, subcontractors, and teammates

 

Our Values — and Yours

We don't just post values on a wall. We hire for them.

 

Work Hard / Play Hard

We go above and beyond to find solutions for our clients and teammates. We take accountability for our shortcomings and are always improving. And we make time for family, hobbies, and celebrating wins together.


Attention to Detail

Reading and following the fine print sets us apart from the competition. We do quality work, we're thorough, and we target a zero-punchlist on every project.


Go Getter

We are not afraid of a challenge. We are growth-minded and constantly improving — our processes, our training, and ourselves personally.


Impact

We give clients confidence that we can solve their issues. We treat our teammates like clients. We do more than expected.

 

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • 401(k) plan with profit-sharing opportunities
  • Paradigm pays 100% of employee health insurance; group dental and vision available at minimal cost; limited disability coverage provided
  • Paid Time Off — vacation accrual, sick time, and paid holidays
  • Training & certifications: First Aid/CPR, OSHA 30, EM385, CQM, Fall Protection, Boom/Scissor/Fork Lift, MS Office Suite, MS Project, Leadership Development, Project Management Certificate, and more
  • Advancement from within — as Paradigm grows, we promote our people; employee development is core to who we are
