Project Engineer, Mission Critical — Build the Data Centers Powering Everything

Reno, NV | Full-Time, Exempt | $70,000 – $85,000

The Opportunity

Mission critical construction is the hottest sector in the industry — data centers can't wait, can't fail, and can't be built by just anyone. Our client, one of the Southwest's largest general contractors with 50 years of building and projects exceeding $100M, is hiring a Project Engineer for a mission critical project in Reno. You'll work directly with Project Managers and Superintendents at the center of the action: RFIs, submittals, document control, and daily field coordination on a project where precision is everything. There's no faster way to build a serious construction career.

Why You'll Love It

• Mission critical experience: Data center work is the most in-demand résumé line in construction right now
• Real responsibility, day one: Own RFIs, submittals, and project documentation on an active build
• Mentorship that matters: Learn from experienced PMs and Superintendents on a high-stakes project
• Full benefits + Nevada: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, parental leave, PTO — and no state income tax

What You'll Do

• Process and track RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings; keep logs accurate and current
• Support subcontractor coordination and communication across active scopes
• Maintain project documentation and document control systems
• Prepare agendas and minutes for OAC and subcontractor meetings
• Assist with schedule updates and progress tracking
• Review drawings and specs; help flag conflicts and constructability issues — critical on MEP-heavy mission critical work
• Support QC walks, punch lists, commissioning support, and closeout documentation
• Assist PMs with change orders, budgets, and cost tracking
• Spend time in the field learning sequences, logistics, and site operations

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent experience
• 0–3 years of commercial construction experience (internships count); mission critical or MEP-heavy project exposure a plus
• Strong organizational skills and sharp attention to detail
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Microsoft Office proficiency; Procore, Bluebeam, or similar a plus
• A proactive, team-first attitude and hunger to learn
• Comfort working from a job trailer on an active construction site
