Job description
I-5 Design Build
Construction Project Engineer
Location: Lacey, WA
Work arrangement: Full-time, in-office position with periodic project travel; remote and hybrid work are not available
Compensation: Hourly; rate based on experience
Build Your Project-Management Career While Supporting Fast-Moving Commercial Projects From Design Through Installation.
I-5 Design Build is an integrated design-build firm with more than 40 years of experience creating casino, hospitality, entertainment, food and beverage, and high-end commercial environments. Our architecture, design, fabrication, construction, and installation teams work together from our Lacey headquarters to make decisions quickly and deliver complex projects on demanding schedules.
The Construction Project Engineer functions as an Assistant Project Manager, providing the technical coordination and documentation that keeps projects moving. Working directly under a Project Manager, you will help organize the day-to-day details of design-build projects from preconstruction and mobilization through fabrication, installation, and closeout.
This is a technical, office-based role; not a client-facing sales position and not a position with independent budget authority or direct reports. You should be comfortable opening a drawing set, understanding the construction scope, issuing documents for bid, coordinating RFIs and submittals, and following through on project needs without waiting to be reminded. Periodic travel may be required for site surveys, project visits, or field verification.
Key Responsibilities
Process and track RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and related approvals
Maintain drawing logs, current construction sets, and project records in Procore
Review architectural and construction drawings to understand and communicate scope
Send drawings and project information to subcontractors and vendors for pricing
Assist with subcontractor coordination, scopes, bid comparisons, purchase orders, and change documentation
Track materials, long-lead items, deliveries, milestones, and action items
Support the Project Manager with schedules, look-aheads, and progress tracking
Prepare meeting notes and follow up on assigned tasks
Support permitting, inspections, punch lists, warranties, and closeout records
Coordinate technical information with office, fabrication, and field teams
Visit project sites periodically to document conditions, progress, or quality
Required Qualifications
At least two years of relevant construction project engineering, project coordination, architecture, or related experience; a relevant construction-management or engineering degree may be considered in place of some professional experience.
Ability to read and interpret architectural and construction drawings and specifications
Experience processing or coordinating RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and change documentation
Working knowledge of Procore or comparable construction project-management software
Proficiency with Bluebeam or a comparable document-review platform
Strong written communication and document-control skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with casino, hospitality, tenant-improvement, or occupied‑facility construction
Familiarity with millwork, custom casework, specialty interiors, or fabrication
Experience creating or updating schedules in Microsoft Project
Familiarity with Revit and the ability to navigate architectural models
OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification
Pay And Benefits
Full-time, W-2 employment.
Pay: $36 - $44 per hour, depending on experience
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Short- and long-term disability benefits
401(k) retirement plan
Seven paid holidays
Paid sick leave accrued according to applicable state law
PTO for eligible employees: one week after one year, two weeks after two to four years, and three weeks after five or more years
Growth path toward Project Manager
Direct exposure to design, architecture, fabrication, construction, and field installation
