The Opportunity

As a Project Engineer, you'll play a vital role in ensuring each Lee Kimball project starts strong and stays on course. You'll collaborate across design, estimating, and construction teams to create detailed scopes, accurate budgets, and smooth procurement strategies that set every project up for success.

Your work will shape the foundation of every home we build - translating design intent into clear, actionable plans that our team can execute with confidence and excellence.

What You'll Do

  • Define & Prepare: Develop precise scopes of work and estimates using CoConstruct, adapting templates based on drawings and input from the design and construction teams.
  • Collaborate & Coordinate: Lead site walkthroughs with designers, trades, and PMs to confirm measurements, materials, and pricing accuracy.
  • Procure & Track: Compile and manage bid packages, analyze vendor and trade pricing, and track procurement lead times.
  • Refine & Optimize: Maintain and update project specifications, budgets, and change orders as designs evolve.
  • Support & Streamline: Work alongside leadership to enhance operational systems, bringing consistency and clarity to every phase of our process.

What Winning Looks Like

  • Scopes and budgets are clear, complete, and aligned before the first shovel hits the ground.
  • Trade partners and PMs have what they need - no confusion, no delays.
  • The team feels confident, informed, and supported through your organization and follow-through.

What You Bring

  • Proven experience in residential estimating, project engineering, or related construction roles
  • Strong technical skills with the ability to interpret architectural drawings and specs
  • Proficiency in construction management platforms (CoConstruct experience a plus)
  • Clear communicator who values accuracy, collaboration, and teamwork
  • A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for continuous improvement
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent field experience

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Competitive pay: $35-$45/hour, based on experience and expertise
  • A respected, long-standing name in Boston's design-build community
  • A culture built on collaboration, integrity, and craftsmanship
  • The opportunity to influence high-end residential projects that truly enhance how people live
  • A workplace that values professional growth and long-term relationships - not just production

Join Our Team

At Lee Kimball, every project begins with a clear plan - and every great plan begins with the people who make it possible.If you're an estimator-minded professional who finds joy in precision, problem-solving, and teamwork, we'd love to meet you.
