THE OPPORTUNITY

Ready to grow your construction career with one of Florida's top builders? A leading heavy-civil contractor is hiring a Project Engineer for an active FDOT roadway project in the Naples area. This is a hands-on role with real mentorship, a strong backlog behind it, and clear room to move up — a great next step for an engineer who wants to build a career, not just fill a seat.

WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS ROLE

• Strong pay plus upside — $95,000 to $120,000 base plus bonus.
• A genuine growth path. Learn the business from senior project staff who invest in developing engineers, with a clear track toward Senior PE and beyond.
• Meaningful FDOT roadway work in one of Florida's most desirable markets.
• The stability of an established, well-funded contractor with a deep project pipeline.
• Direct-hire with full benefits — medical, retirement, PTO, and the backing of a top Florida builder.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage RFIs and submittals — keep information moving between designers, the owner, and subcontractors.
• Support the Superintendent in the field on material tracking, subcontractor scheduling, and daily sequencing.
• Help track quantities, pay estimates, and project costs.
• Review plans and specs to catch conflicts and constructability issues early.
• Keep documentation, daily reports, and records aligned to FDOT standards.
• Support scheduling, look-ahead planning, and change-order documentation.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2+ years of project or field engineering in heavy-civil / heavy-highway construction.
• A heavy-civil / FDOT roadway background (or comparable DOT roadway experience).
• Working knowledge of RFIs, submittals, and field coordination.
• A degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field — or equivalent field experience.
• The ability to read civil construction plans and specifications.

NICE TO HAVE

• Direct FDOT project experience.
• Familiarity with Primavera P6, Bluebeam, or Microsoft Project.
• EIT certification or measurable progress toward a PE license.
