Job Description

PROJECT ENGINEER – FEDERAL SITE CONSTRUCTION

Rapid City, SD • Onsite / Jobsite Based

Overview

Our client is a 100% employee-owned general contractor with a national reputation in commercial and federal construction — and they're currently running one of the busiest federal jobsites in their portfolio, with 6–7 concurrent projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers on-site right now.

This role has a front-row seat on high-profile federal work, embedded with a tight-knit project team working on some of the largest federal construction projects including air force bases, barracks, hangers, and more.

What You'll Do:

Drive projects from pre-construction through closeout — supporting the Project Manager and Superintendent on schedule, budget, and documentation
Read and interpret drawings and specifications, and keep project documentation airtight
Manage the submittal process and schedules with subcontractors
Create, track, and close out RFIs
Schedule stakeholder meetings and distribute minutes
Compile closeout packages — warranties, O&M manuals, and punchlist tracking
Facilitate owner training and support permitting, inspections, and regulatory compliance
Assist with quality control and warranty coordination
Use MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams), Bluebeam (preferred), and construction management software daily

Compensation & Perks

Full-time, Direct-hire, salary role
Bonus: 15% project completion bonus — standard across the company
Schedule: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM, typically 45–50 hrs/week
100% Employee-Owned (ESOP): Vests after one year of full-time employment
401(k) with company match
Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, HSA, Accident, Life/AD&D, Disability, and EAP
PTO: Vacation and sick leave included
Growth: 3–5 internal trainings per month and a company that is actively scaling into new markets — including international project exposure
Culture: Tight-knit, relationship-driven crew that hires for character first — low-ego, solution-driven people who thrive under pressure and work well with government partners

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management (or equivalent work experience)
Prior Project Engineer experience preferred or strong equivalent experience
OSHA 30 certification (or ability to complete upon hire)
Valid driver's license preferred
Proficiency with MS Office; Bluebeam and construction management software experience a plus
Federal/DOD or USACE construction experience a strong plus
Must be a U.S. citizen and able to pass a background investigation and drug screening (federal project requirement)
Willingness to travel up to ~25%

This is a full-time, onsite position based at the jobsite — it is not available as a remote or hybrid role. Our client does not provide visa sponsorship for this position; candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship.
