Job Description:

Coastal Drilling East, LLC is seeking a Senior Project Engineer to join our team in support of a major hydro dam construction program — the first of a series of planned hydro infrastructure projects. The position is geared toward the upfront project development phase, focusing on detailed planning, estimating, subcontractor procurement, activity work plans, and documentation management. The Senior Project Engineer will serve as a key team member working closely with the Project Executive and Project Manager, ensuring project readiness and alignment before field mobilization. This role requires exceptional communication and writing skills, strong technical and organizational capabilities, and the ability to manage complex information streams across multiple stakeholders. While the initial focus is on pre-construction and project setup, the position may evolve into an on-site engineering role as projects advance into the construction phase.

Job Responsibility:

Lead and coordinate the preparation of detailed project work plans, scopes of work, and technical documentation
Develop and issue subcontractor RFPs, including scope definition, evaluation criteria, and bid summaries
Perform quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, and budget analysis to support proposal and project development efforts
Collaborate with the Project Executive and Project Manager to ensure alignment between design intent, technical feasibility, and financial objectives
Review engineering drawings, design documents, and specifications for constructability and accuracy
Manage communication between internal teams, design consultants, and external partners to ensure timely and complete project documentation
Prepare clear and concise written communications, reports, and presentations for internal leadership and client stakeholders
Support early-stage permitting and coordination with local and federal agencies
Transition to on-site engineering support as required for project execution
Assist with subcontractor oversight, field coordination, and progress tracking
Review and process submittals, RFIs, and change orders
Monitor project cost performance, schedule adherence, and client communication during active construction

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline
Minimum 5 years of experience in heavy civil, marine, or infrastructure construction
hydro or dam project experience is a strong plus
Proven ability to write, review, and communicate technical and commercial project information effectively
Strong experience with estimating, takeoffs, and subcontractor procurement
Demonstrated success in project planning and preconstruction coordination
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and construction management tools (e.g., Procore, Primavera, or similar)
Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to coordinate among clients, designers, and project teams
Willingness to travel or relocate temporarily for field assignments if project needs dictate
Valid state issued driver’s license required
OSHA 30 certification preferred
Ability to work more than 40 hours in any given week including weekend assignments and holidays as required

Nice to have:

Experience in marine construction, heavy concrete structures, or water control infrastructure
Background in multi-project program support or development of repeatable project workflows
Highly organized with attention to detail and accuracy in both written and financial documentation
