Project Engineer, Procurement ​/ Purchasing

The Project Engineer is an owner/operator team member responsible for maintaining the controls, records, visibility, and follow-through that keep Fleet’s data center projects organized and decision-ready. Reporting into the construction management line — to the Construction Manager or Sr. Construction Manager who leads the assigned scope — this role is the backbone of owner-side project information — tracking decisions, actions, submittals, RFIs, changes, and turnover requirements, and ensuring the right parties are held to their commitments.

This is a developing role focused on accuracy, organization, and disciplined follow-up. The Project Engineer supports the Construction Managers and works alongside the Sr Project Engineer by keeping status current, surfacing risks early, and ensuring nothing critical falls through the cracks.
