INTRODUCTION
Rusin Concrete began in Colorado Springs in 1997 with a simple belief: concrete work should be done with craftsmanship, integrity, and a level of professionalism that builders can count on. What started as a small, hands-on operation has grown into one of the region's most trusted concrete partners, serving commercial General Contractors, Residential Builders, and Homeowners across the Front Range. As our team has grown, so has the range of what we deliver. Residential or Commercial. A single foundation or an entire development. A small slab or a complex structural pour. Whatever the project, we bring the same commitment to quality, communication, and craftsmanship, because the size of the job never changes the standard of the work.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Commercial Project Engineer owns preparation, tracking, and follow-through for assigned project controls, procurement documents, and project information under a designated supervising Project Manager or Senior Project Manager. The Project Engineer prepares all project purchase orders and subcontracts for the responsible PM's review and approval and keeps information and materials moving ahead of field needs. The responsible PM retains accountability for project results, forecasts, approvals, and commercial decisions.
- Understand assigned estimates, contract documents, scope, exclusions, and project schedules. Participate in turnover and planning meetings with the Project Manager and field leadership.
- Review drawings and specifications for completeness, coordination, and constructability. Prepare and track requests for information (RFIs) under the Project Manager's direction.
- Own current RFI, submittal, procurement, drawing revision, and change-documentation logs for assigned projects. Record responsible parties and required dates; follow up and escalate overdue items before they affect field work.
- Review reinforcing steel, post-tensioning, concrete mix design, and formwork submittals for conformance with project requirements. Coordinate required reviews, approvals, and distribution.
- Maintain current drawings, specifications, approved submittals, and revisions in Procore as implemented, using company systems during transition. Communicate changes and confirm field teams have current information.
- Prepare all project purchase orders and subcontracts using company templates, including scope, quantities, pricing, supporting quotes, and required documents. Route each package to the responsible PM or Senior PM for review and approval before issuance; do not independently approve commitments.
- Track procurement packages through review, approval, authorized issuance, fabrication, release, and delivery. Follow up on missing information and overdue approvals; confirm current documents, approved submittals, and materials are ready before affected work starts.
- Assist field leaders with interpretation of drawings and specifications. Coordinate technical questions with the Project Manager and design team; do not independently authorize design changes.
- Collect installed quantities, labor and production information, material records, and delivery tickets. Support cost reviews and forecast preparation; flag discrepancies to the Project Manager.
- Assemble change quantities, pricing, photographs, daily records, and time-and-material backup. Track missing signatures and supporting documents for Project Manager review and follow-up.
- Maintain correspondence, meeting minutes, action lists, inspection and testing records, and photographs using consistent company processes. Track each assigned item through completion, document its status, and escalate unresolved items before they affect commitments.
- Assist with billing quantities, as-built records, punch lists, warranties, and closeout documents. Coordinate responsibilities with any assigned Field Engineer to avoid gaps or duplicate work.
- Support safety and quality requirements during site visits, promptly report concerns, and perform other duties as assigned.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant construction experience.
- Construction internship, project coordination, or field experience preferred; commercial concrete experience is beneficial.
- Ability to read drawings and specifications and develop knowledge of reinforcing steel, post-tensioning, formwork, concrete mix designs, and construction sequencing.
- Strong organization, attention to detail, written and verbal communication, and ability to manage due dates across assigned projects.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office; Procore and Bluebeam experience preferred. Ability to learn company project controls and accounting workflows.
- Ability to own preparation and follow-through, maintain consistent processes across projects, ask timely questions, recognize limits of authority, and escalate issues before they delay work.
- Commitment to safety, quality, ethical conduct, and Rusin's Core Values; valid driver's license and driving record meeting company requirements.

Pull your O*NET occupation profile first
Project Engineer falls under a specific SOC code that determines your prevailing wage tier. Pull the O*NET profile before applying so you can confirm whether a posted role matches the official occupational definition and qualifies under H-2B visa.
Verify the prevailing wage before accepting offers
Your employer must pay at least the DOL-certified prevailing wage for your county and occupation. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your target work location so you can spot offers that fall short before you sign anything.
Target employers with a temporary-need pattern
H-2B requires employers to demonstrate a genuine temporary need, like a seasonal construction push or a one-time infrastructure project. Target firms with recurring seasonal project cycles, since they've already navigated the labor certification process before.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified H-2B sponsors
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with active H-2B Labor Condition Application history for engineering and construction roles. This filters out companies that lack the DOL filing track record needed to sponsor your position.
Understand the cap split when timing your job search
The 66,000 annual H-2B cap splits into two halves: 33,000 for workers arriving October through March and 33,000 for April through September. Construction-heavy summer projects compete in the same cap half, so target employers who file as early as USCIS allows.
Prepare a project-specific employment letter early
Your employer's DOL temporary labor certification filing must describe a specific project, location, and end date. Get a signed letter outlining your role, the project timeline, and why the need is temporary before your employer submits the certification.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Project Engineer jobs with H-2B visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search for Project Engineer roles with verified H-2B sponsorship history, filtering by employers who have filed DOL temporary labor certifications for engineering and construction positions. This removes the guesswork of approaching employers who lack experience with the H-2B process or who hire only domestic workers for project roles.
Does the H-2B annual cap affect my Project Engineer application?
Yes. The 66,000 annual H-2B cap is split into two halves by season, and construction and infrastructure employers competing for the summer half face the highest demand. Once a cap half is exhausted, USCIS stops accepting petitions until the next fiscal year. Your employer must file as soon as the filing window opens to avoid cap cutoffs that could delay your project start date.
What documents do I need to support an H-2B Project Engineer petition?
You'll need proof of your engineering credentials, such as a degree certificate or professional licensure, along with a valid passport and any prior U.S. visa documentation. Your employer supplies the certified DOL labor certification and a signed job offer letter describing the temporary project. If your credentials are from a non-U.S. institution, a credential evaluation confirming equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree strengthens the petition.
Can I extend my H-2B status if my construction project runs longer than expected?
USCIS allows H-2B extensions in one-year increments up to a maximum of three years, but your employer must demonstrate the temporary need continues and file before your current status expires. Extensions aren't automatic, and the three-year cap is cumulative. After reaching that limit, you must spend three consecutive months outside the U.S. before USCIS will approve a new H-2B petition for you.
