About the Company
The company is a well-established and growing leader in the commercial construction industry, known for delivering high-quality projects and investing in the development of their people.

Their culture emphasizes mentorship, accountability, and providing emerging talent with opportunities to accelerate their careers.
About the Position
Are you a high-performing Project Engineer ready to step into leadership—without waiting years for a title change?
This is not a typical Project Engineer role. The company is seeking a Senior Project Engineer who wants to do more than manage documents—you’ll manage people. This position is designed as a leadership training ground, giving you early exposure to team management responsibilities that most professionals don’t experience until much later in their careers.
You will oversee and mentor Project Engineers across multiple job sites, gaining hands-on leadership experience while working alongside a supportive senior project management team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead & Mentor: Manage and develop a team of Project Engineers; provide guidance on submittals, RFIs, and documentation processes.
- Multi-Project Oversight: Drive the engineering lifecycle across multiple concurrent projects, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and quality.
- Strategic Coordination: Serve as the link between field operations and project management to ensure alignment and clear communication.
- Cost & Schedule Management: Support budget tracking, scheduling updates, and change order processes to maintain project performance.
- Technical Review: Analyze blueprints, specifications, and shop drawings to proactively identify and resolve potential issues.
Why This Role Stands Out:
Unlike traditional career paths in construction, this opportunity provides:
- Early, direct people management experience
- The chance to develop your leadership style with mentorship from senior leaders
- A platform to differentiate yourself as a scalable, multi-project leader
Requirements
- Experience: 3–5+ years in commercial construction
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred (not required)
- Leadership Mindset: Demonstrated initiative with a strong desire to mentor and develop others
- Technical Skills: Expert-level proficiency in Procore
- Local Expertise: Familiarity with the Michigan construction market and willingness to travel to local job sites
Benefits
- Competitive base salary with performance-based bonuses
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Clear and accelerated career path into leadership roles
- Ongoing mentorship and professional development
