This role is ideal for an experienced project engineer who wants to expand their leadership responsibilities and move along a clear career path toward Project Management.

As a Mechanical Project Engineer, you will be an integral part of the construction management team-supporting, coordinating, and tracking all phases of complex design-build projects.

  • Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, QC, and Safety personnel.
  • Assist with submittals, RFIs, takeoffs, and as-built documentation.
  • Review and interpret construction drawings, FRP, and subcontractor scopes of work.
  • Support job costing efforts and verify subcontractor billings and progress reports.
  • Maintain organized and accurate project documentation in accordance with company standards.
  • Communicate effectively across all levels of the project team, including clients, subcontractors, and field staff.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and actively contribute to project planning and scheduling.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered.
  • 5+ years of experience in construction project engineering or related roles, preferably in mechanical trades.
  • Strong understanding of construction trade practices, especially mechanical systems (HVAC, piping, or plumbing).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams); familiarity with BIM, Procore, or similar project management software preferred.
Why Join RQ Construction
