A well-established heavy civil contractor with a long-standing presence in Central Florida is adding a Project Engineer / Field Engineer to support a growing backlog of roadway and FDOT infrastructure work.
This role is ideal for an engineer with real field experience who’s ready to move beyond day‑to‑day support and start owning larger pieces of the project—with a clear path toward Assistant Project Manager.
You’ll work alongside experienced superintendents and PMs who value field input and actively develop engineers for long‑term leadership roles.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Managing key project controls: quantities, cost tracking, procurement support, and progress reporting
- Supporting field operations through layout coordination, short‑term planning, and production problem‑solving
- Working directly with superintendents and PMs to help sequence work and maintain production goals
- Handling RFIs, submittals, material tracking, and document control
- Assisting with subcontractor coordination and ensuring work aligns with plans, specs, and safety standards
- Splitting time between the field and office to stay connected to real production—not just paperwork
Why Engineers Step Into This Role (and Stay)
- Clear progression to Assistant Project Manager with increasing autonomy
- Exposure to FDOT, roadway, and infrastructure projects—not one‑off jobs
- Consistent backlog across Central Florida with minimal overnight travel
- Hands‑on mentorship from senior PMs and superintendents invested in developing future leaders
- Involvement across planning, execution, and close‑out, not just one phase
- Stable contractor with repeat work and long‑term growth plans in Florida
What They’re Looking For
- 2–5+ years as a Project Engineer or Field Engineer with a heavy civil contractor
- Background in roadway, bridge, utilities, or FDOT‑regulated projects
- Strong understanding of plans, specs, quantities tracking, and field operations
- Ability to work closely with field teams while keeping documentation organized
- Someone motivated to grow into project management or operational leadership
Note: Candidates without prior heavy civil experience will not be considered.
Compensation & Benefits
- Above‑market salary based on experience
- Performance‑based bonus opportunities
- Full benefits package
- Long‑term career development with real advancement opportunity—not a title change
