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.
