Construction Project Engineer; Develop-Build

Description

LG Group is a vertically integrated real estate development, construction, and property management company specializing in hospitality, luxury commercial, adaptive re-use, tenant improvements, multifamily, mixed-use, and high-rise residential projects. Through our Develop-Build team, we manage projects from concept through completion, giving team members exposure to both development and construction throughout the project lifecycle on multifamily, mixed-use, and high rise projects.

LG Group is seeking a Project Engineer to support the planning, coordination, and execution of multifamily, mixed-use, and high-rise residential projects from preconstruction through closeout.

Unlike a traditional general contractor environment, this role provides exposure to both development and construction, allowing you to work alongside project teams throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. You'll partner closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, Development leaders, consultants, and subcontractors while building the skills and experience needed to advance into Project Management.

This is an opportunity to join a growing Develop-Build platform, work on impactful projects throughout Chicago, and gain hands‑on experience across all phases of project delivery.
