Build the Foundation for the Future

Gregory Construction is seeking a Project Engineer to support large-scale data center and heavy civil site development projects. This is a field-driven role requiring significant travel to active job sites across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and other regions as project needs dictate.

As a Project Engineer, you'll partner with experienced Project Managers and Superintendents while gaining hands-on experience in earthwork, underground utilities, grading, and site infrastructure. This role is ideal for someone early in their construction career who wants to develop into a future leader within heavy civil construction.

At Gregory Construction, our Core Values aren't just posted on a wall—they shape how we operate every day. We prioritize Safety by ensuring every employee returns home safely. We lead with Integrity, doing the right thing even when no one is watching. We pursue Excellence by continuously improving ourselves and our projects. We believe effective Communication builds stronger teams and better projects. And we approach every challenge with Determination, finding solutions and delivering results no matter the obstacle.

If you're looking for more than just a job and want to build a career with a company that invests in its people, we'd love to hear from you.
