At River City Construction, our Project Engineers are essential to the successful delivery of our projects. They support the project team through every stage of construction—helping ensure projects are thoughtfully planned, well-executed, and delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

Project Engineers work closely with Project Managers, Field Operations, and other departments to support all technical, coordination, and documentation efforts on a job. They help track project progress, maintain critical information, and collaborate across the team to keep things moving forward efficiently and effectively.

We offer a flexible work environment that supports meeting team members where they are at in both work and life—while keeping project needs and deadlines top of mind. Flexibility may vary depending on specific project requirements. While a hybrid work arrangement may be available for this role, additional on-site presence will likely be required during the initial training and onboarding period to support integration, team collaboration, and hands-on project understanding.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Support: Assist Project and Field Operations team members with day-to-day project operations, including scheduling, procurement, document management, and coordination with subcontractors and vendors.

Field Coordination: Help manage and track jobsite activities, RFIs, submittals, daily reports, and progress photos. Attend project meetings and assist with site walk-throughs and safety protocols.

Documentation & Communication: Maintain up-to-date project records, assist with internal and external reporting, and help communicate project updates to clients, design teams, and partners.

Problem Solving: Support issue resolution in the field, assist with change management processes, and help drive solutions that align with project goals, safety, and quality standards.

Technology & Tools: Utilize project management software and other digital tools to support scheduling, cost tracking, and reporting efforts.

At RCC, we’re committed to building great projects—and great teams. If you're passionate about construction, learning, and being part of a collaborative team, we’d love to talk with you.
