About the Positions
We’re seeking Office Engineers of various skill levels to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These positions run the construction office: submittals, RFIs, contract records, pay applications, and change documentation. You’ll keep that record complete and current so decisions on payment, time, and entitlement hold up months later under audit or claim review.
This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Note: We are seeking candidates of various skill levels, and the following responsibilities represent the core of these roles. Scope and complexity increase with experience level.
May administer the program’s submittal and RFI process, logging, distributing, and tracking each item through technical review to a documented response within the contractual review period.
Maintain the construction record set, including contract documents, plans, specifications, addenda, and as-built markups, so the current approved version is the one in use.
Review pay applications and progress payment requests against verified quantities, the approved schedule of values, and contract terms, and route them for approval.
Compile and track change order documentation, including entitlement records, independent estimate backup, and negotiation history, so the program’s position is documented before anything is executed.
Monitor contract compliance items, including insurance certificates, bonds, certified payroll, DBE participation, and permit conditions, and escalate lapses before they affect payment.
Coordinate document flow across active work areas and the contract packages they support.
Reconcile field records, daily reports, and quantity documentation against contractor submissions so program records support payment decisions and claim review.
Coordinate with contractors, designers, and agency staff to keep responses moving, and document review cycle delays and their cause when they occur.
Prepare program progress reports, log summaries, and meeting minutes, and track open action items to closure.
Organize the project’s document control structure, including naming conventions, version control, and retention, so the record survives audit, claim review, and funding review.
Support schedule updates by reconciling schedule submissions against program records of submittals, RFIs, and change activity.
