Job Description
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
