Description
job summary:
Our client is looking to add a Construction Project Engineer to their team for a project located in Pasenda CA. This is a 6 month contract opportunity.
The Construction Project Engineer will drive the final stages of a state-of-the-art Quantum Physics laboratory at Caltech. This is a field-heavy, “boots-on-the-ground” role focused on identifying, documenting, and resolving deficient work to ensure the project meets the extreme precision standards required for high-level scientific research.
You will be the “eyes and ears” of the Superintendent on the floor. Your primary goal is to identify incomplete or deficient scope before the formal punch list begins, ensuring a seamless handover to the university.
- Field Inspection: Spend the majority of your day on the floor, identifying architectural and MEP deficiencies.
- Documentation: Log all findings into Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) with clear descriptions, photos, and locations.
- Subcontractor Coordination: Distribute reports to trades and work directly with foremen to schedule and verify the completion of remaining work.
Qualifications
– 1-2 years minimum experience in construction (GC preferred), with punch list or pre-punch QC experience strongly preferred
– ACC experience not required – willingness to learn is expected
– Must be a self-starter who is comfortable working independently in the field without constant direction
