JOIN US IN BUILDING SOMETHING GREAT

Do you see challenge as opportunity, take pride in doing things the right way, and believe great work starts with great relationships? Because that is the Jackson Way.

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, you’ll find purpose here. At Jackson Contractor Group, we are builders through and through, of structures, relationships, and opportunity. We build more than projects, we build people.

What truly sets us apart is our people and our core values.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. Take care of each other.
CHASE THE HARD STUFF. Meet challenges head on.
OPERATE WITH INTEGRITY. Deliver what is promised.
SPARK PASSION. Bring enthusiasm.
PURSUE GREATNESS. Desire to succeed.

At Jackson, we invest in you. Not just your skills, but your growth and your goals. You will have the support to push limits, the encouragement to innovate, and the trust to take ownership.

As a Project Engineer, you will play a key role in bringing our projects to life from the very first stages of construction through closeout. You will work closely with project teams, design partners, and our subcontractor community to ensure information flows accurately, materials arrive on time, and the work is executed with precision. Your efforts lay the groundwork for strong project execution, clear communication, and successful outcomes in the field.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex challenges, thrives in a collaborative environment, and takes pride in supporting teams with accurate information, proactive coordination, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

When you are a part of the Jackson crew, your voice matters, your growth is encouraged, and your impact is seen every day. Whether you are managing document control or collaborating with project teams, you will be part of a company that values integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine connection.

If you are ready to do meaningful work with people who care about what they build, and who they build it with, we would love to meet you.
