Construction Project Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania

Build Your Career With TRE Construction

TRE Construction is growing, and we're looking for a motivated Project Engineer to join our team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who wants to build a career in commercial construction while gaining hands-on experience across all phases of a project—from preconstruction and procurement through field execution and closeout.

At TRE Construction, our Project Engineers aren't simply managing paperwork. You'll work directly alongside our Project Managers, Superintendents, Estimating Team, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and clients while developing the skills necessary to advance into project management.

What You'll Do

As a Project Engineer, you will help support the successful planning, coordination, and execution of TRE Construction's commercial projects.

Responsibilities will include:

• Assist Project Managers and Superintendents with day-to-day project coordination
• Manage and track RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and project documentation
• Review drawings, specifications, and contract documents
• Assist with subcontractor and vendor coordination
• Track material procurement and long-lead items
• Assist with project schedules and milestone tracking
• Maintain project logs and documentation
• Participate in owner/architect/contractor meetings and prepare meeting minutes
• Assist with subcontractor buyout and scope reviews
• Help prepare and track change orders
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and field personnel
• Assist with project cost tracking and budget management
• Support quality control and project safety initiatives
• Conduct jobsite visits and assist with field coordination
• Help manage punch lists and project closeout documentation
• Assist with as-built drawings, warranties, O&M manuals, and turnover packages
• Support the Project Manager in maintaining strong client relationships

These responsibilities align closely with Project Engineer positions at commercial general contractors, where the role serves as an important connection between field operations and project management.

What We're Looking For

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred
• Internship or previous experience in commercial construction is a plus
• Ability to read and understand construction drawings and specifications
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Comfortable working both in the office and on active construction sites
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Experience with construction management software is a plus
• Self-motivated with a willingness to learn and take ownership
• Strong team mentality and professional attitude

Recent construction management and engineering graduates are encouraged to apply.
