Project Engineer, Civil Engineering

About R&S Construction Management

R&S Construction Management is a local San Francisco‑based construction company specializing in concrete and public works projects throughout the Bay Area. We work primarily with public agencies, including SFPUC and SFDPW, on structural concrete, site concrete, civil improvements, utility‑related concrete, and infrastructure projects. We are growing our team and strengthening our project controls, field support, and internal systems. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to learn public works construction from the ground up, work closely with experienced field teams, and build a long‑term career in project management.

The Project Engineer will support the planning, coordination, documentation, and execution of concrete and public works construction projects. This role works closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, Foremen, subcontractors, suppliers, inspectors, and agency representatives to keep projects organized, compliant, and moving forward. This is not a desk‑only role. You will spend time in the office, on jobsites, and with the people actually building the work.

The right person will enjoy staying organized, solving problems, asking good questions, and helping the field and office stay aligned.
