Project Engineer - Commercial Electrical Projects

We are hiring a hands-on Project Engineer to support large-scale commercial electrical construction projects throughout the Detroit area.

We are specifically looking for someone with commercial construction experience who understands project documentation, material procurement, scheduling, cost tracking, and field coordination. Projects include hospitals, healthcare facilities, universities, institutional buildings, and other technically complex commercial environments.

This is not a remote or document-processing-only role. You will work directly with Project Managers, Foremen, Superintendents, BIM/VDC teams, vendors, and general contractors while supporting active field operations. This position offers a clear path into Assistant Project Manager and Project Manager responsibilities.

Prepare and track RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement logs, transmittals, and closeout documents

Review electrical drawings, specifications, schedules, contracts, and scopes of work

Coordinate with Project Managers, Foremen, electricians, vendors, subcontractors, and general contractors

Track equipment orders, material deliveries, long-lead items, project milestones, and field progress

Assist with project schedules, cost tracking, billing documentation, forecasting, and committed costs

Participate in project meetings, jobsite walks, and field coordination discussions

Work with BIM/VDC and field teams to identify conflicts and support constructible installation solutions

Maintain accurate project logs, meeting notes, reports, and document controls

Help resolve missing information, schedule conflicts, procurement issues, and field coordination challenges
