Construction

Project Engineer

to join their team in Boise, ID.

This role works directly alongside a Project Manager as a true right hand, supporting active jobs from preplanning through execution on a large‑scale semiconductor campus construction project across multiple buildings.

The focus is to keep projects moving by tracking progress against the estimate, coordinating materials and logistics, and supporting scheduling and field operations in real time. You’ll split time between the office trailer and jobsite, staying closely connected to day‑to‑day construction activity.

This role centers on real‑time coordination and execution support — monitoring timelines, aligning field needs with project plans, ensuring materials and sequencing are in place so work stays on schedule, and resolving issues before they impact the field. You’ll maintain accurate, up‑to‑date documentation so the Project Manager has clear visibility into project status at all times, including supporting material orders and utilizing Bluebeam and 3D models to review drawings, mark up plans, and document field conditions.
