PROJECT ENGINEER – FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION

📍 Rapid City, SD •Onsite / Jobsite-Based

💰 $72,000 – $90,000/year + 15% Project Completion Bonus


Overview


Our client is a 100% employee-owned general contractor with a national reputation in commercial and federal construction — and they're currently running one of the busiest federal jobsites in their portfolio, with 6–7 concurrent projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers on-site right now.

This role has a front-row seat on high-profile federal work, embedded with a tight-knit project team working on some of the largest federal construction projects including air force bases, barracks, hangers, and more.


What You'll Do:

  • Drive projects from pre-construction through closeout — supporting the Project Manager and Superintendent on schedule, budget, and documentation
  • Read and interpret drawings and specifications, and keep project documentation airtight
  • Manage the submittal process and schedules with subcontractors
  • Create, track, and close out RFIs
  • Schedule stakeholder meetings and distribute minutes
  • Compile closeout packages — warranties, O&M manuals, and punchlist tracking
  • Facilitate owner training and support permitting, inspections, and regulatory compliance
  • Assist with quality control and warranty coordination
  • Use MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams), Bluebeam (preferred), and construction management software daily

.

Compensation & Perks

  • Base salary: $72,000 – $90,000/year (based on experience)
  • Bonus: 15% project completion bonus — standard across the company
  • Schedule: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM, typically 45–50 hrs/week
  • 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP): Vests after one year of full-time employment
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, HSA, Accident, Life/AD&D, Disability, and EAP
  • PTO: Vacation and sick leave included
  • Growth: 3–5 internal trainings per month and a company that is actively scaling into new markets — including international project exposure
  • Culture: Tight-knit, relationship-driven crew that hires for character first — low-ego, solution-driven people who thrive under pressure and work well with government partners


Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management (or equivalent work experience)
  • Prior Project Engineer experience preferred or strong equivalent experience
  • OSHA 30 certification (or ability to complete upon hire)
  • Valid driver's license preferred
  • Proficiency with MS Office; Bluebeam and construction management software experience a plus
  • Federal/DOD or USACE construction experience a strong plus
  • Must be a U.S. citizen and able to pass a background investigation and drug screening (federal project requirement)
  • Willingness to travel up to ~25%


This is a full-time, onsite position based at the jobsite — it is not available as a remote or hybrid role. Our client does not provide visa sponsorship for this position; candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship.


Our client is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
