Project Engineer - Commercial Electrical Construction

Project Engineer

We are hiring a hands-on Project Engineer to support large-scale commercial electrical construction projects throughout the Detroit area.

We are specifically looking for someone with commercial construction experience who understands project documentation, procurement, scheduling, cost tracking, and field coordination. Projects include hospitals, healthcare facilities, universities, institutional buildings, and other technically complex commercial environments.

This is not a remote or document-processing-only position. You will work directly with Project Managers, Foremen, Superintendents, BIM/VDC teams, vendors, and general contractors while supporting active field operations. The role offers a clear advancement path into Assistant Project Manager and Project Manager.

Responsibilities

• Support commercial electrical projects from preconstruction turnover through final closeout
• Prepare and track RFIs, submittals, change orders, transmittals, procurement logs, and closeout documentation
• Review electrical drawings, specifications, schedules, contracts, and scopes of work
• Coordinate with Project Managers, Foremen, electricians, vendors, subcontractors, and general contractors
• Track equipment orders, material deliveries, long-lead items, project milestones, and field progress
• Assist with project schedules, cost tracking, billing documentation, forecasting, and committed costs
• Participate in project meetings, jobsite walks, and field coordination discussions
• Work with BIM/VDC and field teams to identify conflicts and support constructible installation solutions
• Maintain accurate project logs, meeting notes, reporting, and document controls
• Help resolve missing information, schedule conflicts, procurement concerns, and field coordination issues
