Since 1996, RQC, LLC. has been a leading player in Southern California's robust commercial and governmental Design-Build economy. We now have a national presence with current projects approaching $1B, spanning coast to coast.

Headquartered in beautiful Carlsbad, CA, we are a full-service Design-Build company.

We are on the look-out for a Project Engineer (PE) candidate who could join our Field Operations team in Charleston, SC. We are currently accepting applications at this time. Project assignment will require working on an active project on a military base.
