The Project Engineer (PE) supports the day-to-day execution of mission-critical data center construction by driving documentation, coordination, procurement tracking, and field communication. This role is central to keeping the project moving: managing submittals and RFIs, supporting schedule and cost controls, coordinating owner-furnished equipment (OFCI), and helping push quality, commissioning readiness, and turnover.

The PE works closely with the Project Manager, Superintendent(s), subcontractors, vendors, design partners, commissioning agents, and the client team to ensure work is coordinated, decisions are documented, and the field has what it needs to build safely and correctly.

Projects may include:

• Ground-up hyperscale and enterprise data center builds
• Retrofits and upgrades to live/operating facilities (brownfield)
• Expansions of existing data centers and critical infrastructure
• Large tenant improvements, fit-outs, and deployment-driven retrofits

• Lead the submittal and RFI process end-to-end: logging, tracking, routing, follow-up, and closure.
• Ensure submittals align with specs, drawings, basis of design, and approved alternates
  .
• Maintain clean, current project records: meeting minutes, logs, sketches, bulletins, and correspondence.
• Support drawing management: distribute current plans, manage revisions, and help prevent “building off old sheets.”

• Track procurement status for long-lead equipment (electrical/mechanical/controls) and communicate risks early.
• Understand and help manage the full OFCI process:
  what’s coming, when, where it goes, and what’s needed to receive/install it.
• Coordinate with PM/superintendent on receiving, documentation, check-in, and storage requirements for owner-furnished materials.
• Support vendor coordination (delivery windows, offload plans, laydown logistics, access requirements).

• Support weekly coordination cycles: subcontractor coordination, pull planning, BIM/VDC, OAC, and RFI/submittal reviews.
• Help keep commitments visible and enforced (who owes what, by when).
• Understand key schedule milestones and help identify schedule impacts from procurement, design, or field constraints.
• Partner with the field team to remove blockers fast and keep work moving.

• Support the site QA/QC process: inspections, documentation, deficiency tracking, and closure.
• Assist with jobsite photo documentation and organization.
• Help drive clean build practices consistent with data center standards (critical spaces, dust control, protection of installed work).
• Coordinate specialty testing/inspections documentation and ensure results are captured and filed properly.

• Support change management: pricing requests, documentation, scope narratives, and backup for change events.
• Assist PM with pay application tracking, vendor invoices, and reconciliation support as needed.
• Help maintain clean cost backup and scope clarity to support decision-making.

• Support commissioning readiness by tracking prerequisites, documentation, and installation closeout.
• Coordinate with PM/field/cx team on turnover requirements (O&M manuals, as-builts, training, test results, spare…
