PROJECT ENGINEER

Project Administration & Documentation

• Submittals & RFIs: Manage and track Requests for Information (RFIs) to clarify design discrepancies and review submittals (materials, data, and shop drawings) for approval. [1, 2]
• Change Orders: Assist in documenting, pricing, and tracking changes to the original scope of work to minimize financial risks. [1, 2]
• Documentation: Maintain accurate, up-to-date project logs, meeting minutes, and as-built drawings throughout the construction lifecycle. [1, 2]

2. Coordination & Communication

• Stakeholder Liaison: Act as the primary technical point of contact between architects, engineers, subcontractors, and clients.
• Trade Coordination: Ensure field crews and subcontractors have the correct plans, materials, and information they need to perform their work without delays.
• Progress Meetings: Facilitate routine meetings to update schedules, resolve bottlenecks, and align all parties on project milestones. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

3. Cost & Schedule Management

• Scheduling: Assist Project Managers and Superintendents in developing comprehensive schedules, tracking milestones, and identifying potential delays.
• Procurement: Coordinate the ordering, delivery, and staging of necessary building materials and heavy equipment.
• Budget Tracking: Monitor project expenses, verify subcontractor invoices, and help prepare monthly pay applications. [1, 2, 3, 4]

4. Quality Control (QC) & Safety
Inspections: Routinely inspect on-site work to ensure it strictly complies with contract documents, design specifications, and local building codes. [1, 2]

Defect Resolution: Identify and document non-conforming work and work alongside field personnel to coordinate immediate rectifications. [1, 2]

Safety Compliance: Monitor the job site to ensure Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) regulations are maintained and workers are equipped with the proper safety gear. [1, 2]

5. Problem Solving

• Constructability Reviews: Evaluate blueprints and designs for practical viability, addressing design flaws before they cause construction errors. [1, 2]
• Field Adjustments: Troubleshoot unexpected on-site challenges (like unforeseen site conditions or clash of trades) by developing rapid, practical solutions. [1, 2, 3]
