We are seeking a driven Project Engineer to support the delivery of a ground-up, large-scale data center project in West Texas. This role is ideal for someone early in their construction career who is looking to gain hands‑on experience in a fast‑paced, highly technical environment.

This position will require relocation to a remote project site. Candidates should be prepared for a field‑based role with limited access to major metropolitan amenities and a strong focus on onsite collaboration.

About the Role
The Project Engineer will play a key role in supporting project management, field operations, and project controls on a complex, mission‑critical build. This environment demands strong attention to detail, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple priorities across technical scopes and fast‑moving schedules.

Key Responsibilities
Manage project controls and document management using platforms such as MS Project, Autodesk (BIM 360), and CMiC

Coordinate site activities, including subcontractor logistics, sequencing, and material deliveries

Participate in planning and coordination meetings with internal teams and trade partners

Assist in identifying and resolving design and construction conflicts in real time

Support QA/QC processes, including inspections, testing coordination, and verification tracking

Track and process submittals from approval through procurement and installation

Support enforcement of jobsite safety standards and protocols

Assist in maintaining project schedule and ensuring milestone adherence

Review RFIs, drawings, and specifications for technical accuracy and completeness

Support change management processes, including pricing and documentation (ASI, PR, CCD, etc.)

Help coordinate and document OAC and subcontractor meetings

Assist with project closeout, including turnover documentation and as‑built drawings

Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Experience supporting mission‑critical, data center, advanced manufacturing, or similarly complex projects

Familiarity with construction technology platforms such as CMiC, PlanGrid, BIM 360, Assemble, or similar systems

Strong organizational, communication, and problem‑solving skills

Ability to adapt in a highly technical, schedule‑driven construction environment

Preferred Experience
Exposure to projects with high MEP coordination, commissioning requirements, or critical uptime considerations

Prior experience working in field‑based roles on large, ground‑up builds

Project Location & Travel

The project is located in West Texas, about 90 minutes outside of the Midland–Odessa region

Midland–Odessa International Air & Space Port (MAF) serves as the primary airport hub for project travel

Relocation, per diem, housing, and travel support are available for qualifying candidates

Travel home may be taken every two weeks and will be reimbursed, with up to two flights covered.

This is a 2–5 year, project‑based assignment with long‑term stability and continuity

Physical Requirements
Combination of standing, walking, and sitting throughout the workday

Ability to climb stairs and navigate active construction sites

Frequent use of hands for computer and document management tasks

Ability to lift up to 40 lbs

Capable of bending, kneeling, crouching, and working in a construction environment

Adequate vision, hearing, and communication ability for both office and field settings

This is an opportunity to be part of a high‑impact project where precision, coordination, and execution are critical to success. If you’re looking to grow your career on technically demanding projects that push industry standards, we encourage you to apply.
