We are seeking a Civil Project Engineer to act as the Package Project Manager for key civil and architectural scope areas on a large-scale capital project. This is an oversight and coordination role, functioning as an owner’s representative and primary point of accountability for assigned packages rather than a hands-on field engineering position. This role requires strong scope control, change management, and coordination across multiple stakeholders, including EPCM partners, design engineering firms, and construction contractors.

• Oversee and manage scope for packages including:
  • Fireproofing
  • Exterior cladding and building envelope
  • Glazing systems
  • Roofing
  • Fire stopping
  • Cold rooms (if prior experience applies)
• Maintain “ducks in a row” for scope definition, design completeness, and constructability readiness
• Review and validate change orders, including:
  • Assessing scope accuracy
  • Identifying missing or unclear elements
  • Evaluating intent vs. execution gaps
• Provide active coordination across multiple touchpoints, ensuring alignment between:
  • EPCM partners
  • Design engineering firms
  • Construction contractors
• Participate in progress meetings and coordination sessions; drive issues to closure
• Ensure alignment with cost, schedule, scope, and quality expectations
• Serve as an owner’s representative, providing oversight rather than daily field execution
  • Site presence is welcome but not required as a primary function of the role

Experience & Qualifications

• 5–10 years of project engineering or project management experience
• Experience managing multi-million-dollar scopes (typically $10-15M+)
• Strong background in one or more of the following industries is preferred:
  • Pharmaceutical

  • Multi-discipline construction teams
• Strong understanding of scope definition, change control, and package-level delivery
• Excellent coordination, communication, and organizational skills

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related technical discipline

Additional Notes

• This is primarily an oversight and coordination role, not a traditional field PE position
• Candidate should be comfortable leading through influence and managing interfaces rather than performing daily field inspections
