Project Engineer – Design, Construction/Development
The Wolff Company, Scottsdale, AZ, United States
Description
The Project Engineer (Design Focus) provides technical support to the Director of Design, with a primary emphasis on design standards development, documentation, and compliance for multifamily developments. This role supports the establishment and communication of design protocols and performs detailed reviews of contractor submittals and progress drawings to ensure alignment with established standards. This position is well suited for professionals who are highly organized, detail-oriented, self-directed, and strong communicators. The role operates in a hybrid work environment, with most work performed remotely, a required in‑office day each week, occasional additional in‑office days for key meetings, and limited site visits as needed.
Key Responsibilities
Perform detailed reviews of contractor submittals and shop drawings to verify conformance with company design standards
Review and backcheck progress drawings at a highly detailed level, coordinating revisions and tracking required changes through resolution
Identify inconsistencies or areas where design intent may be compromised and elevate issues as appropriate
Route submittals, RFIs, and related documentation (including non‑Procore projects) to appropriate stakeholders and track timely responses
Design Standards & Information Management
Assist in maintaining, organizing, and updating the company’s design standards database
Support documentation of design protocols and assist in clearly communicating standards to internal teams and external consultants
Research architectural products, materials, and historical project information to inform design decisions
Organize complex technical information using tools such as Excel, Bluebeam, and PDF markups
Track outstanding design‑related issues and follow items through to resolution
Prepare meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and follow‑up documentation
Coordinate and communicate with consultant teams, development managers, and construction project managers to support project alignment
Who Will Thrive In This Role
This role is ideal for professionals who prefer detailed, office‑based technical work focused on design review, document coordination, and standards compliance rather than daily field supervision. Strong candidates may come from backgrounds such as:
Construction Project Coordinator or Project Engineer roles who want to take the next step into a design‑focused position
Professionals working for specialty contractors (architectural, envelope, trades, etc.) who want broader exposure to the full multifamily development and construction process
Individuals who enjoy reviewing drawings, submittals, and standards and take pride in accuracy, consistency, and follow‑through
Candidates interested in long‑term growth related to design standards, technical review, and design management
Requirements
4+ years of related experience within the construction industry
High School Diploma required; Associates or Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, and/or related preferred
