Senior Project Engineer — Heavy Civil / FDOT Roadway & Bridge

Orlando, FL · Full-Time · Direct Hire ·

Opportunity

A confidential Florida heavy civil contractor is looking for a Senior Project Engineer to join the team on a major FDOT roadway and bridge infrastructure project in Orlando.

This is a strong seat for a project engineer who has already been exposed to large civil work and is ready for more responsibility — RFIs, subcontractors, technical coordination, cost tracking, schedule support, quality, field coordination, and owner/EOR communication.

The work is real infrastructure: FDOT roadway, bridge, CIP walls, MSE walls, sound walls, bridge approach and wing walls, technical details, construction sequencing, and major project execution.

This is not a paperwork-only PE role. The company needs someone who can connect the technical side of the job with what is actually happening in the field.

Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation

This opportunity offers:

• A direct-hire role with an established Florida heavy civil contractor
• A seat on a $100M+ FDOT infrastructure project
• Exposure to roadway, bridge, CIP concrete, retaining walls, MSE walls, sound walls, and bridge approach work
• A step-up opportunity for a strong PE ready to operate at a senior level
• Competitive base compensation with project bonus opportunity
• Full benefits
• Relocation consideration for the right candidate
• A confidential process from first conversation through final steps

This is the kind of role that can sharpen a project engineer fast because the work is large, technical, and visible.

What You’ll Be Driving

The Senior Project Engineer will help manage the technical, commercial, and coordination side of a major FDOT civil infrastructure project.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and support project meetings with owners, foremen, contractors, supervisors, and internal project teams
• Coordinate technical information between the project team, owner, Engineer of Record, subcontractors, and field leadership
• Manage RFIs and coordinate Non-Conformance Report resolution
• Review specifications, technical data, plans, shop drawings, and project details for contract and design conformance
• Coordinate CIP concrete wall work, including retaining walls, MSE walls, sound walls, bridge approach walls, and wing walls
• Support layout, reinforcing steel coordination, formwork, concrete placement, and curing activities
• Schedule and monitor construction activities on large-scale infrastructure work
• Identify conflicts, delays, and technical issues before they create field disruption
• Develop operational work plans and procedures with EOR and owner approval when required
• Estimate quantities, build bills of materials, and help maintain project budgets
• Review supplier quotes from quality, manufacturing, engineering, and design standpoints
• Negotiate and manage subcontractor contract terms and change orders
• Track cost vs. bid performance variance and support cost-benefit analysis
• Schedule and support quality control / quality assurance inspections
• Coordinate surveying operations
• Support implementation of the Safety, Health, and Environmental program

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate has heavy civil project engineering experience and understands FDOT work, project controls, field coordination, subcontractor management, and technical problem-solving.

Required background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a closely related field
• 3+ years of civil infrastructure project engineering and/or construction management experience
• Experience on large infrastructure projects valued at $50M+
• Demonstrated experience with CIP concrete walls, including retaining, MSE, sound, bridge approach, and wing walls
• Working knowledge of FDOT standards, specifications, and quality control requirements
• Ability to interpret FDOT plans, shop drawings, and technical details
• Experience managing RFIs, technical coordination, subcontractor issues, and change orders
• Cost estimating, quantity tracking, and financial analysis experience on large-scale work
• Proficiency with construction project management software such as Procore, Primavera, or similar

Preferred experience:

• Florida PE license
