Project Engineer - Construction Management

Hilo, Hawaii | $73,130 - $87,014 DOE

Want to be part of a project that will positively impact Hawaiʻi Island for generations?

We're seeking a Project Engineer to support a major multi-year wastewater treatment plant improvement program in Hilo. This landmark infrastructure project represents a significant investment in the island's future and offers a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience on a large-scale public works project from planning through construction.

This position is based in Hilo, though periodic travel to project sites and meetings throughout Hawaiʻi Island may be required.

You'll join a well-established Hawaii consulting organization with a longstanding reputation for delivering complex infrastructure, engineering, and construction management projects throughout the state. The company is known for its collaborative culture, commitment to professional development, and reputation as an employer where employees build long-term careers.

What You'll Do

• Support construction management activities throughout all phases of the project

• Review RFIs, submittals, change orders, and contractor documentation

• Assist with project scheduling, budget monitoring, and cost tracking

• Conduct site visits, inspections, and progress meetings

• Coordinate with contractors, engineers, inspectors, and project stakeholders

• Maintain project documentation, logs, and reports

• Prepare weekly and monthly project updates

• Help ensure compliance with contract requirements, permitting, and safety standards

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field

• 3+ years of construction, engineering, or project coordination experience

• Ability to interpret plans, specifications, and contract documents

• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills

• Willingness to work in both office and field environments

• Ability to travel throughout Hawaiʻi Island as needed

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience

• CCM and/or PE certification

• Experience with Primavera P6, MS Project, Bluebeam Revu, and Adobe Acrobat

• Infrastructure, municipal, utility, wastewater, or heavy civil construction experience

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on a high-profile wastewater infrastructure project that will benefit the Hilo community for decades

• Join a respected Hawaii consulting firm with over 40 years of success delivering impactful projects across the islands

• Collaborate with experienced industry professionals and project leaders

• Gain valuable exposure to construction management, contract administration, scheduling, and cost control

• Opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, and career advancement

• Strong team culture built on collaboration, integrity, and quality project delivery

• Long-term project stability and meaningful work with visible community impact

Location: Hilo, HI (travel throughout Hawaiʻi Island may be required)
Salary: $73,130 - $87,014 annually, depending on experience and qualifications.
