Northwest Talent Solutions LLC is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a growing specialty civil construction contractor.
We are seeking a Senior Project Engineer who understands both sides of construction — estimating and field execution. This is not a desk-only estimating role and not a pure field superintendent position. The engineer will help bid projects and then help run them.
Projects typically range from $250K–$4M and move quickly, often lasting only a few months, creating constant variety and hands‑on involvement.
Types of Projects- Deep foundations / pile & shoring
- Rail and transportation infrastructure improvements
- Small bridges and culverts
- Industrial and structural support work
- Remote and specialty construction sites
If you like seeing a project from the bid stage all the way to completion, this role offers real ownership and visibility.
What You'll Do- Perform quantity takeoffs and prepare project estimates
- Review plans, specs, and attend pre‑bid meetings
- Develop bid packages and cost analyses
- Assist with project startup and field coordination
- Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and documentation
- Coordinate subcontractors and suppliers
- Track costs and project performance
- Support claims, contractor ratings, and project closeout
- Visit jobsites to verify scope and conditions
You’ll be directly involved in both winning the work and delivering it.
Required Background- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management
- 3–7+ years' experience in heavy civil construction
- Experience with deep foundations, pile & shoring, heavy highway, rail, or industrial projects
- Estimating or cost engineering experience
- Ability and willingness to travel to project sites
- Geotechnical or foundation construction exposure
- Heavy Job / Viewpoint or similar construction software
- Quantity takeoffs and cost estimating
- Field coordination and subcontractor management
- Hands‑on involvement instead of siloed responsibilities
- Quick project cycles (no multi‑year mega project stagnation)
- Direct exposure to leadership and decision‑making
- Opportunity to grow into Project Manager
Company details will be shared during the interview process. All inquiries handled confidentially.
If you have deep foundations or heavy civil experience and want to be more involved in both winning and building projects
, we'd like to speak with you.
