ausland; Eugene (OR); On-site; Full time

Job description

Project Engineer Internship

Location: Eugene, Oregon

Build What Matters—With a Team That Builds Differently

At Ausland Group, we don’t just build—we’re an integrated team of professionals that bring our client’s visions to life. As a fully integrated commercial design and construction firm, we unite architects, engineers, land use experts, and construction professionals – as peers – under one roof. This seamless collaboration empowers us to deliver exceptional, client‑focused outcomes that go far beyond the norm.

Why Ausland?

Unlike traditional general contractors, Ausland operates as a single, aligned team from concept to completion. Our project teams are deeply integrated—designers, engineers, and builders working side‑by‑side every day. This means fewer silos, more creativity, and better results for our clients and our people. We’re celebrating 80 years of award‑winning work and have been named one of Oregon Business’ 100 Best Companies.

What You’ll Do

As a Project Engineer, you’ll be a key player in delivering high‑impact projects that shape communities. You’ll work closely with your Project Manager (your coach and mentor), Superintendents, and our in‑house design team to ensure every detail aligns with the big picture.

You’ll:

• Support all phases of project delivery—from early design collaboration through final closeout
• Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with architects, engineers, and construction managers in a fully integrated team
• Coordinate with subcontractors, consultants, and clients to align design intent with real‑world execution
• Manage project documentation, including submittals, RFIs, and contracts across both design and build phases
• Track budgets, change orders, and commitments—keeping a finger on the financial pulse of the project
• Assist with estimating, bidding, and scope development during preconstruction
• Help maintain and adjust project schedules, identifying critical path items from design through construction
• Support field teams with procurement and logistics to keep projects on track
• Leverage cutting‑edge tools like Autodesk Construction Cloud, Primavera P6, and Microsoft Co‑Pilot
• Grow into a trusted problem‑solver who connects strategy with execution

We’re looking for more than a resume—we’re looking for mindset. You’re curious, proactive, and driven to make things better. You thrive in a team environment where collaboration is the norm, not the exception.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Hold (or are earning) a degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field
• Have relevant work or internship experience (early‑career candidate’s welcome!)
• Stay calm and organized under pressure and love solving complex problems
• Communicate clearly and work well with a wide range of people
• Are eager to learn, grow, and be mentored by industry leaders
• Take initiative, follow through, and hold yourself accountable

You’ll be based primarily in our Eugene office and will take regular visits to project sites.
