Project Engineer

About this job

Do you enjoy keeping projects organized as much as you enjoy construction? Do you have experience supporting commercial construction projects? Are you ready to be the go-to person who keeps documentation, coordination, and takeoffs on track? We are looking for a Project Engineer to collaborate remotely with our client, a commercial construction company based in Hawaii. You should be available to work during U.S. business hours (Hawaii Time, HST) for this full-time opportunity. Apply today!

BetterPros unlocks human potential by offering competitive compensation, flexibility, constant learning and growth, and the opportunity to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.

What you will do

• Support Project Managers with day-to-day coordination, tracking RFIs, submittals, change orders, punch lists, and closeout documentation.
• Perform basic quantity takeoffs from construction drawings and specifications, and assist with bid preparation, scope review, subcontractor bid leveling, and pricing comparisons.
• Review plans for missing information, scope gaps, and constructability concerns, and help prepare conceptual and budget estimates as directed.
• Own document control: organize drawings and specifications, track revisions and version updates, and support permit, compliance, and closeout processes.
• Act as a key point of contact with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams (estimating, operations, accounting, and field), including procurement coordination and material tracking.
• Keep the team informed and moving by preparing meeting minutes, project reports, status updates, and schedule tracking.
• Help maintain estimating templates, databases, and cost logs, and support workflow improvements that make the team more efficient.

What you'll need to know

• 2+ years of proven experience supporting commercial construction projects.
• Experience performing basic estimating takeoffs and quantity measurements.
• The ability to read and interpret architectural and construction drawings and specifications.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
• A highly organized, detail-oriented mindset, with strong time-management skills and comfort working in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

A great plus

• A bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related field.
• Experience with Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Procore, Autodesk, or similar construction software.
• Prior experience supporting U.S.-based construction companies, ideally remotely.
• Exposure to subcontractor coordination and procurement support.
