The Project Engineer also supervises Assistant Engineers, Engineering Assistants, Plan Clerks, and Interns.

• Interpret Construction Documents: Review contract drawings, specifications, and subcontractor scopes to ensure accuracy and consistency with project budgets and schedules.
• Manage Budget & Cost Controls: Monitor and maintain project budgets. Identify cost‑saving opportunities and support forecasting to ensure financial targets are met.
• Oversee Submittals & Shop Drawings: Manage the submission, review, and approval process for shop drawings and material submittals. Resolve discrepancies and ensure conformance with contract documents.
• Prepare & Negotiate Change Orders: Identify scope changes, prepare independent cost analyses, coordinate with subcontractors, and secure approvals from architects and owners.
• Lead Project Close‑Out: Manage final project documentation, including RFIs, as‑builts, warranties, O&M manuals, attic stock, and spare parts. Ensure all requirements are completed for turnover and contract compliance.
• Supervise & Mentor Team Members: Provide guidance and oversight to Assistant Engineers, Engineering Assistants, Plan Clerks, and Interns. Participate in performance reviews and staff development.
• Develop & Maintain Project Logs: Create and update essential project records such as safety reports, labor tracking, change order logs, general conditions items, and quality control documentation.
• Conduct Project Meetings: Schedule and lead subcontractor coordination meetings, preconstruction planning sessions, and submittal review meetings to drive project progress and resolve issues proactively.
• Define Trade Scopes of Work: Draft and manage detailed scope documents to clearly define subcontractor responsibilities and minimize scope gaps or conflicts.
